(Jerusalem Post) Michael Masters - The American Jewish community is facing the most threatening environment in our nation's history. The enemies of Israel and of America have seen recent events as an opportunity to push their agenda of hate and violence. Iran and other foreign terrorist organizations have now made it clear that the U.S. and its Jewish community are prime targets for future attacks. As we head into Passover, we must draw from our ancestors' strength and refuse to let our enemies dictate our lives. Protecting ourselves against these threats requires a collective effort. Every facility must be prepared, and every member of the community must be engaged. We have a choice: to let fear win by putting our heads in the sand and hiding our identity or to confront those who would wish for us to fall away. We need to make clear that we are not going anywhere. The writer is national director and CEO of the Secure Community Network, the safety and security organization for the Jewish community in North America.
