45% of Jews identify as liberal.
32% are moderate.
23% are conservative.
There are differences, though.

FBI did a an active shooter security training at the Detroit synagogue two months ago h/t @DrJackieMrsHajd
FBI Detroit led an Active Shooter Attack Prevention and Preparedness (ASAPP) training for the clergy and staff of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield. The FBI course combines lessons learned from years of research and employs scenario-based exercises to help participants practice the decision-making process of the Run, Hide, Fight principles and take necessary actions for survival. We appreciate them for having us.
Our Division has partnered with many organizations in Michigan and is committed to protecting schools, workplaces, houses of worship, medical facilities, transportation centers, government facilities, other public gathering sites, and communities. Contact us or your local FBI Field Office for questions regarding active shooter training.

Doing interviews for 20 Myths, I often get asked what's the biggest falsehood I see when it comes to data about religion.

Funny to read a story like this and feel so connected to it. Not because I identify with the subjects, or because Iโm fascinated with celebrity. Just because so much of it happened next door when I was little.. A short thread on why I have Dan Akroydโs harmonica
