being planned through the ADL. Until
then, local Jewish organizations "need
to be reminded about the informatiOn
that they already have, and the steps
that they should routinely take to try to
secure their facilities," Gad-Hart said.
His worry is the copycat phenome-
non, he said. "It's all the more reason
that Jewish institutions should be on
high alert right now."
Donald Cohen, director of the
ADL/Michigan Region, said that hate
groups, especially on the Internet,
have become breeding places for the
"lone gunman.
Calling it the concept of "leaderless
cell resistance," he said the idea is not
a top-down movement, but a place to
feed the people information in the
hope that they will go out and corn-
mit acts.
"Then the group itself has a level of
deniability," he said. "I don't take any
denial from these hate groups very
seriously."
Local rabbis said they believed
security will be adequate for the High
Holy Days services next month, but
that they would be reviewing the issue
in the coming days.
Rabbi Daniel Nevins of Adat
Shalom recalled a graffiti incident at
the synagogue a year ago, noting, "so
we know there are disturbed people in
the community. Will we have more
security? We don't know."
Rabbi Daniel Syme said security at
Temple Beth El has been "fairly exten-
sive" for years. "I am sure we will be
having discussions about security as a
community of synagogues."
The Los Angeles shooting affirms, he
said, that "the time has come to severely
limit gun ownership — no excuses."
He called private ownership of
assault weapons "a societal abomina-
tion. No one can convince me that
Uzis are needed for sport."
Rabbi Aaron Bergman of
Congregation Beth Abraham Hillel
Moses said that, considering the arse-
nal of weapons the suspected attacker
brought with him, it was amazing no
one was killed.
"People say, `how could God allow
this'?" Rabbi Bergman said. "But
maybe the miracle is, God didn't allow
anything worse to happen."
Parents and grandparents showed
different levels of concern.
Linda Ridella of White Lake said
the thought of the crime being hate-
related is "just sick."
Although she said she feels safe
dropping off her daughters Victoria, 6,
and Madi, 3, at the Kahn Building of
the JCC in West Bloomfield, Ridella

added, "you have to be careful wherev-
,,
er you go.
She mentioned the incident to her
6-year-old, but in the most general
terms, "just to be aware of it, in case
other kids are talking about it.
"I didn't want to make her afraid to
go anywhere," she said. "I told her
that a terrible thing happened in Los
Angeles at the Jewish Community
Center, and she said, 'Well, it's not
our Jewish Community Center.'"
Amy Zonder of Huntington Woods
said she felt a special type of concern.
"Until yesterday, I never really felt con-
cerned as a Jewish parent. I just kind of
had the normal anxiety that parents
have dropping their kid off at daycare,
she said, dropping off her daughter,
Emily 21/2, at the Kahn Building. "But
yesterday kind of made me think of all
the hate crimes, and made me a little
concerned about being a Jewish parent."
Valerie Ettinger of Farmington Hills,
dropping off her 12-year-old daughter,
Lauren, at the Kahn Building, said that
times have changed and a person's
guard should always be up.
"It's a very sad situation that people
would want to come into, whether it
would be a Jewish Community Centel-7i \
or a YMCA, knowing that there
would definitely be children there, and
to come in and do something like
that," Ettinger said.
"You never heard about things like this
20 years ago. Now it's like every week
you're hearing about some shooting.
"You can't let your mind say I'm not
c/\
going to take my child to the center
today, because a couple of kids got shot
at a Jewish center in L.A.," she said.
"You just have to go on with your daily
life, pay strict attention to what's going
on around you, and hope that some-
thing like that doesn't happen to you.
"It makes me very sad," said Ilya
Gerzan of Oak Park. "The hatred in
this country is out of hand."
Gerzan, who moved here from
Russia 18 years ago, said that the
hatred is worse than in his homeland.
"Even if people hate Jews in Russia,
they cannot walk into a building and
shoot little kids."
He said his 7-year-old grandson,
Andrew Gerzan, who attends day
camp at the JPM Building in Oak
Park, "was upset that kids were shot (--/
for nothing."
Freedom is being misused, he said,
when Nazis can have the right to
march and propagandize. First they talk
about it. Then they start shooting." Li
