Senators want $20 million for JCCs and other faith-based community centers

The “Faith-Based Community Center Protection Act” could help Jewish Community Centers and other houses of worship offset the cost of increased security. This enhanced security – already in place at many JCCs in the wake of scores of bomb threats in recent weeks – will tax nonprofits budgets and divert funds that could be used for the preschools, gyms and programs for the elderly offered to Jews and non-Jews alike.
