    Nonprofit Security Grant Program Threat Incident Report: January 2019 to Present November 15, 2020 (Updated 02/22/2021) Prepared By: Rob Goldberg, Senior Director, Legislative Affairs [email protected] The following is a compilation of recent threat incidents, at home or abroad, targeting Jews and Jewish institutions (and other faith-based organization) that have been reported in the public record. When completing the Threat section of the IJ (Part III. Risk): ▪ First Choice: Describe specific terror (or violent homegrown extremist) incidents, threats, hate crimes, and/or related vandalism, trespass, intimidation, or destruction of property that have targeted its property, membership, or personnel. This may also include a specific event or circumstance that impacted an affiliate or member of the organization’s system or network. ▪ Second Choice: Report on known incidents/threats that have occurred in the community and/or State where the organization is located. ▪ Third Choice: Reference the public record regarding incidents/threats against similar or like institutions at home or abroad. Since there is limited working space in the IJ, the sub-applicant should be selective in choosing appropriate examples to incorporate into the response: events that are most recent, geographically proximate, and closely related to their type or circumstance of their organization or are of such magnitude or breadth that they create a significant existential threat to the Jewish community at large. I. Overview of Recent Federal Risk Assessments of National Significance Summary The following assessments underscore the persistent threat of lethal violence and hate crimes against the Jewish community and other faith- and community-based institutions in the United States.

That year was 1930 and, yes, GW surpassed the glee clubs of Yale and Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth in the competi- tion... a night to remember! The 1930 concert program had never been placed in the University Archives, but Weitzels copy occupied a prominent place in the evenings exhibit of choral memorabilia. The event at which Weitzel was speaking was the March 1986 Harmon Choral Reunion. Drawn by a camaraderie developed in the tradition of choral singing and wishing to honor their leader of more than 40 years, Dr. Robert Howe Harmon, GW choristers traveled long distances to the reunion. There were 239 guests in attendance at the banquet and more than 500 crowded the Dorothy Betts Marvin Theatre later that evening to hear student and alumni voices join together in a rousing Its A Grand Night For Singing. They were celebrating a grand tradition at GW the tradition of choral singing which dates to the turn of the century and has taken the Universitys name to the far corners of the earth. One of those places was the South Pacific, where Traveling Troubadours members Dick Hedges, Steve Andersen, Dave Lum, John Parker, Wade Currier, Dick Randall, Sue Farquharson Law, Joan Haag Osborne and Rosemary Glenn found themselves in 1950.
