Security for Jews: Senate confirms severe protection!

Security for Jews: Senate confirms severe protection!

Bremen, Deutschland - On July 3, 2025, an important exchange of views between the Jewish community in the state of Bremen and the Senate took place. In times of increasing anti -Semitic tendencies and in view of Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel and the current situation in Gaza and Iran, it was high time for such a meeting. As reported senatspressestelle.bremen.de, the security of Jews was the central theme of the discussions.

Representatives: Inside the Senate, including Mayor Andreas Bovenschulte and Justice Senator Claudia Schilling, have clearly spoken out against anti -Semitic acts of violence. They emphasized the need to make Jewish life visible and secure in Bremen. Bovenschulte in particular found that Jewish life must be protected without any ifs and buts. For many people, the in -depth support of the Senate is of great importance, especially against the background of the alarming increase in anti -Semitic deeds in the region.

increasing anti -Semitic acts

The situation is not only tense in Bremen. In Lower Saxony, too, anti -Semitism has increased significantly since autumn 2023. As reported n-tv.de, the research and information center in 2024 recorded a total of 650 anti-Semitic tales Many like in the previous year. This includes attacks, threats and property damage that more and more people unsettle.

The increasing brutality of the deeds is particularly worrying. In 2024 there were three cases of extreme violence, including an arson attack on the synagogue in Oldenburg. A mentally ill man confessed to the deed, but the number of unrestricted incidents is high. Jewish communities are therefore increasingly demanding measures against hostility to Jews.

joint action against anti -Semitism

The Jewish community in Bremen has expressed its concern about the current security situation. During the meeting, chairwoman Elvira Noa described the protective measures as a "investment in the future" for all citizens: inside. Her deputy, Grigori Pantijelew, reported on many concerned calls and letters after October 7, 2023. Rabbi Natanel Teitelbaum thanked the Senate and called for concrete steps to secure the Jewish community.

The Senate not only affirmed that it supports the Jewish community, but also decided to expand the advisory and sensitization offer at universities. Educational Senator Aulepp emphasized that schools have to be places of diversity and respectful cooperation in which there is no space for anti -Semitism.

in a climate in which anti -Semitism becomes more and more a threat, it is of great importance to tackle these developments together. The Senate has again emphasized that cooperation with the Jewish community and the security authorities is essential to protect and promote Jewish life in Bremen.
