We are aware of the deeply disturbing and harassing antisemitic propaganda strewn across more of our local neighborhoods. This aggressive action is stressful and painful for us in the Jewish community, our friends, and neighbors.
We have been in direct contact with Chief Drake on this situation and below are the MNPD recommended actions:
- If you find antisemitic fliers, use tweezers, gloves, or a plastic bag to place them in a plastic bag to preserve possible fingerprints left behind, and contact law enforcement (see below).
- If the fliers were distributed in your neighborhood, please review your security cameras and report suspicious activity.
- Do not share photos of this propaganda on social media. We are stronger than hate and renounce bringing further attention to this abhorrent disinformation.

We are heartbroken by the massive devastation of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.
Because of you, we are there.
Jewish Federations are on the ground, with our partners, responding in the aftermath of these disasters.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been made homeless, and they are struggling to survive during a bitterly cold winter. We are supplying thousands of tents, heaters, thermal clothing, ready-to-eat meals, and first aid supplies.
The work we do every day around the world uniquely positions us to respond quickly in times of crisis like this, but we need your help.
|
|
This is a special fundraising effort, over and above our annual campaign, specifically to aid those affected by this disaster; and all the proceeds will be used for this urgent need. |
|
Tzedakah is the cornerstone of our Jewish community. Sometimes we give; sometimes we need to receive. It's okay to ask for help. We are here with confidential resources to lend a hand. Reach out for assistance HERE.
