CSS Founders

“CSS was created because the security of the American Jewish community is everyone's responsibility—no matter your age, gender, politics or observance level. Our members all serve side-by-side in pursuit of a single mission: to protect the lives and the way of life of all Jewish Americans. By doing so, we aim to create a culture of responsibility around security and transform the way so-called “ordinary people” can help protect themselves, their families, and their communities.”
