DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SECURITY FOR THE JEWISH FEDERATION OF GREATER PITTSBURGH TO SPEAK AT SETON HILL UNIVERSITY’S CRYSTAL-NUCT REMEMBRANCE INTERFAITH SERVICE

Shawn Brokos who is director of community security for the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh will speak Monday at Seton Hill University’s Crystal-Nuct Remembrance Interfaith Service.  She plans to discuss antisemitic incidents in the region.  According to Brokos, there has been a consistent increase in antisemitic activity over the past 7 years.  In 2024, nearly 300 antisemitic incidents were reported in Pittsburgh. In 2018, it was less than one-tenth of that total.  This year, she said, the number of incidents is on track to surpass the 300 mark.  Brokos said she wants to leave those attending the Greensburg service with a message of hope.
