This decision \u200bcomes in response to \u200cheightened concerns following Iran&#8217;s recent attack on\u200c Israel and a rising\u2063 trend \u200dof antisemitism. In \u200bNew York City, increased patrols will be present at Jewish worship sites and will continue until\u2064 Yom Kippur. The NYPD\u2064 plans \u2063to\u200c collaborate \u200dwith\u200c state police to conduct explosive detection missions at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pro-palestinian-protesters-shut-down-nyc-bridges\/\" title=\"NYC Bridges Blocked by Pro-Palestinian Protesters\">key transit points<\/a>. Mayor Eric Adams reassured the public of their safety, emphasizing that the \u2064city remains vigilant.<\/p>\n<p>Similar measures are\u2062 being taken in Los Angeles, where police have engaged with local Jewish\u2062 community leaders to address security concerns. As tensions in the Middle East rise, both Jewish and Muslim\u200c places \u200bof worship \u200dare\u200c observing increased police presence to \u200censure \u200dcommunity safety. Despite these precautionary \u200cactions, police have not identified any credible threats at this time.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Police increase presence at places of worship ahead of Jewish High Holidays<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1774142\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Jewish<\/a> places of worship will be getting a boost in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/law-enforcement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>law enforcement<\/a> protection ahead of the start of the High Holiday season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/police\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Police<\/a> departments across the United States are increasing their presence at Jewish places of worship out of an abundance of caution due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3173099\/israel-vows-retaliate-iran-ballistic-missile-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Iran&rsquo;s attack on Israel <\/a>on Tuesday, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/antisemitism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>antisemitism<\/a>, which continues to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/politics\/antisemitic-incidents-on-rise-across-the-u-s-report-finds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>rise<\/a>.
