The Jewish community in Texas is on edge after Thursday’s attack on a temple in Michigan.<\/p>\n
“Everyone should pay attention to their surroundings,” Rozalie Jerome of the Holocaust Remembrance Association said. “I know people are learning how to shoot guns, and not just depend on security.”<\/p>\n
Dena Marks with the Anti-Defamation League says this was all too predictable.<\/p>\n
“This is exactly the situation Jewish communities have been bracing for. This is kind of our new normal, and it’s scary.”<\/p>\n
Jerome says when they held a recent event they had protection from no less than eight Houston Police Department vehicles.<\/p>\n
“The entire community is under heightened tension,” Marks said, adding that there is no imminent threat at this time.<\/p>\n
Law enforcement in the Houston area says it will step up patrols near houses of worship as a result of the attack in Michigan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jewish community in Texas is on edge after Thursday’s attack on a temple in Michigan. “Everyone should…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202793,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57,66,223,27],"class_list":["post-202792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-local","tag-news","tag-texas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
