Rabbi Asks Worshipers to Bring Guns to Services; Says Boston Synagogue Needs Guns for Protection
A rabbi in Boston has asked congregants to consider bringing guns to religious services as a form of protection in response to recent shootings at synagogues across the U.S., the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) website reports today (June 25, 2019).
Rabbi Dan Rodkin of Shaloh House in Brighton, a Boston neighborhood with a large number of Jews, said the rise in hate crimes across the country influenced his thinking.
Rodkin fears that increased safety measures at Shaloh House -- including security cameras, reinforced glass widows, and panic buttons -- are not sufficient protection.
Several of his congregants -- including former soldiers and retired police -- are now carrying guns into daily services at Rodkin's synagogue.
