Safety & Security - Temple Anshe Sholom Hamilton

Safety & Security at Temple Anshe Sholom

At Temple Anshe Sholom, the safety and security of our community are our top priorities. We are committed to creating a welcoming and secure environment for all who enter our doors.

New Security Policy

Our updated Security Policy outlines the steps we are taking to ensure the safety of our members, guests, and visitors. We encourage everyone to review it before attending services or events.

📄 Read the Updated Security Policy

As part of our enhanced security measures, all attendees must complete a simple identity verification form before joining us for Friday evening services, Saturday morning services, and Saturday morning Religious School. This process helps us maintain a safe and inclusive space for worship and community gatherings.

🔗 Complete the Verification Form

We are looking for dedicated volunteers to support our security efforts. Whether you have prior experience or are simply committed to keeping our community safe, we welcome your help! Volunteers receive training and play a crucial role in maintaining a secure environment at our synagogue.
