ROCKVILLE, Md. — Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett has sent a request to the County Council for a supplemental appropriation to help area Jewish community centers, including two that were targeted with bomb threats.

Those measures would benefit some of the county’s largest Jewish community organizations: the Bender Jewish Community Center, the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Rockville and the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington in North Bethesda.

The $225,000 would help fund security measures, including the installation of remote-control door-access controls, reinforced windows and additional video surveillance cameras.

Citing an increase in anti-Semitic acts in Montgomery County, Leggett wrote in his budget request that the county must reaffirm its commitment to maintaining a safe and inclusive community, and that “recent events require that we reinforce our reaffirmation with action.”
