Hamas-led militants killed more than 1,100 people in the Oct. 7 attack. 250 people were also kidnapped, according to the Associated Press."The past six months have been very challenging for a lot of people," said Rabbi Sam Spector with Congregation Kol Ami."I talked to a gentleman whose wife and son were murdered in his arms, and he survived but lost his leg," he said.
Spector says they've had to make several security upgrades to his Salt Lake City synagogue. This comes after they received a bomb threat on Oct. 8 and several threatening phone calls and e-mails in the months that followed. "Couple weeks before Oct. 7, we installed about 20 security cameras and we're going to be installing another 20 on our property," he said."We also put into place flagpoles in front of our building to prevent people from driving at congregants on the sidewalk. We have had to have police presence nearly daily since Oct. 7."
Spector said they spend a couple thousand dollars a week to have a police presence outside his synagogue. Money raised by the congregation itself is used to fund that."I think it's very challenging and troubling to see the difficult situation of the Palestinian people, and our hearts break for innocent civilians who are caught in the crossfire of this war," he said."My parents still have family there, family that is not treated equally," she said.
Ron Zamir, the vice president of community relations for the federation, said we have to understand that our lives will not go back to Oct. 6. He said Oct. 7 created a new reality, which we are still trying to live in.
