If your synagogue, Jewish school, or community center is being threatened, blocked, vandalized, or attacked, then here’s what you need to know about the FACE Act: The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act is a federal law that protects people’s ability to safely access places of worship and other protected facilities without threats, violence, intimidation, or obstruction.

Why does this matter to your Jewish community? The FACE Act can serve as a legal tool by allowing federal authorities to investigate and prosecute threats, violence, vandalism, or obstruction targeting Jewish institutions when individuals are intimidated or prevented from safely accessing places of worship.
