Hackensack NJ, as the Jewish holiday of Passover begins this weekend, Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco joined Sheriff Anthony Cureton and law enforcement leaders for the Annual High Holy Day Security Briefing, reinforcing the county’s dedication to public safety, religious freedom, and community unity.
The event, hosted by the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Chaplain Rabbi Joel Friedman, brought together local officials, clergy, and community leaders to discuss security preparedness during the high holy days.
“The safety and security of our residents is the County’s top priority,” said County Executive Tedesco. “This annual briefing is a critical reminder of the importance of collaboration between government, law enforcement, and our diverse communities.”
Supporting Bergen County’s Vibrant Jewish Community
Bergen County is home to one of the largest and most vibrant Jewish populations in New Jersey, and leaders are reaffirming their unwavering commitment to protecting residents’ rights to practice their faith freely and safely.
“I want to acknowledge the continued concerns felt within our Jewish community here in Bergen County and across the globe,” Tedesco added. “Your safety is paramount to my administration, the County Commissioner Board, and our law enforcement agencies.”
Increased Security for Passover 2025
As part of ongoing efforts to enhance public safety during religious observances, county and local law enforcement agencies will increase patrols around synagogues and Jewish institutions throughout Passover. These proactive measures aim to ensure peace of mind for Jewish families during this sacred time.
“We are committed to making sure every resident, including the thousands of Jewish families across our county, can observe Passover without concern,” Tedesco said.
Diversity as Bergen County’s Greatest Strength
With nearly one million residents representing a wide array of backgrounds, Bergen County celebrates its rich cultural and religious diversity. Events like the High Holy Day security briefing reflect the County’s continued efforts to protect and uplift every community.
“Bergen County’s diversity is our greatest strength,” said Tedesco. “It enriches us all and makes our community an incredible place to live, work, and raise a family.”
