The fight against antisemitism means reporting all incidents of antisemitism. Funding for security in our community and our public places depend on it.

When we see or experience an episode of hate, many of us don’t make the effort to let the authorities know because we don’t think anything will be done. If the perpetrator isn't caught or punished what’s the point?

But when we report these incidents, we’re helping tosave lives because we’re collecting data used when local and federal governments determine community needs for security.

This community resource uses geolocation, and images to track and log every aspect of a community Eruv. The physical poles, wires, fences, bridges, hills, and buildings that make up the Eruv are constantly changing and require weekly checks.

The app allows groups of people assigned to check locations to log their positions and share images creating a complete picture of the eruv. Data also includes the halachic basis of each point along the eruv and the government permissions and documents from utility companies. All the documentation is linked to the position it supports.

The immediacy and precision of the app allows those checking the eruv to quickly and effectively describe to the Posek exactly where they are and what the issue is.

This is not an new initiative but its centennial is. One of the OU’s most innovative and successful community partnerships was started by women who wanted more kosher food options for their families. “We wanted to be able to tell our children what they could eat rather than what they couldn’t.” said rebbetzin Goldstein the driving force behind the nacient program.

Food manufacturers added the OU symbol to their products and increased their market share while giving the community more choices. That model has remained the same while supporting community funding for all programs in this year’s impact report.
