SCN Announces Full 2025 High Holiday Webinar & Training Series
Program features expert-led sessions, encore presentations, and real-time engagement to strengthen High Holiday preparedness
The Secure Community Network (SCN), the official safety and security organization for the Jewish community in North America, has released the full schedule for its 2025 High Holiday Webinar and Training Series. Taking place from August 7 through September 18, this national virtual series offers Jewish institutions and individuals timely guidance, practical skills, and tools to enhance preparedness during the High Holidays.
The lineup features sessions on physical security, situational awareness, cybersecurity, inclusive emergency planning, conflict de-escalation, and active threat response. Many sessions will be conducted in conjunction with SCN’s community and law enforcement partners, subject matter experts, and members of the intelligence community. Several training sessions will also be offered as live encore presentations with interactive Q&A and real-time chat support, providing added flexibility and opportunities for engagement.
SCN’s regional security directors and local community security professionals are already working closely with law enforcement agencies nationwide to ensure High Holiday security needs are anticipated and addressed. Communities are encouraged to connect with their local security professional to conduct High Holiday security assessments, update emergency plans, and coordinate directly with law enforcement ahead of the high-traffic season.
The series is open to all members of the community, as well as professionals working to safeguard Jewish institutions across North America.
