On Thursday, Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo announced the state is increasing public safety measures to protect Nevada's Jewish community.
The move is being made in light of recent antisemitic attacks on Jewish communities around the world.
The Governor is encouraging Nevada's law enforcement agencies to maintain a visible presence and remain alert around synagogues, Jewish community centers, schools, and other places where community members may gather for holiday observances or other events.
“Nevada is home to a diverse and vibrant Jewish community, and like all communities, they have the right to gather, worship, and celebrate without fear,” said Governor Lombardo.“The recent antisemitic attacks we’ve seen across the world are cowardly and despicable. While there are no specific threats to Nevada at this time, I am taking decisive action to ensure our Jewish community is protected."
