Antisemitism Response Network

The Anti-Semitism Response Network helps connect individuals, families, schools, synagogues, and organizations with reporting pathways, support resources, educational guidance, and coordinated community response efforts related to antisemitism.

As one of the oldest and largest congregations in the U.S., Ahavath Achim frequently hosts high-profile events and dignitaries, making security a top priority. Thanks to the support of the LiveSecure/SCN network—made possible by the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta—we’ve strengthened our safety protocols, received critical threat assessments, and secured Homeland Security grants. We’re especially grateful to SCN’s local team, Brian Davis and Mile Brosas, for their tireless dedication to protecting our congregation and the broader Jewish community.
