WASHINGTON -- The Colleyville, Texas, rabbi held hostage with three congregants by a man demanding release of a terrorist linked to al-Qaida urged Congress on Tuesday to provide more security funds for houses of worship.
When a gunman threatened the rabbi and three members of Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, it was said that security training and the ability to build bridges with law enforcement and the community helped save them.
Security training paid off for those held hostage recently by a terrorist at a local synagogue. Now, other area synagogues are requesting some of that same training that helped a rabbi and others escape from a possible life and death situation.
