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 51 Call Donna for more information THE from page 15 s 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."
