For L.A.’s Jewish security forces, Israel attack was a call to arms

LA Times  

Israeli tanks are stationed near the border with Lebanon on Oct. 11, 2023. “Anytime there’s an attack on one of us, we all need to raise our level of alert.” Monday night’s prayer service at Beth Jacob was the second event Shmira volunteers had patrolled that evening, one of scores of impromptu expressions of public grief and outrage held across Los Angeles that day and through the week. “But in light of the global situation, we’ve asked all of our members to pick an evening that they will be out and about in the major streets, showing a presence, creating a deterrence and using their powers of observation for anything that may be out of sight.” The word shmira comes from the Hebrew word for “guardian” and is a popular moniker for Jewish security forces and extrajudicial defense groups around the world. “We’re a small community— none of us is more than two degrees from someone who was killed or taken,” said Shoshana Arunasalam, 29, a member of the synagogue. “People kept their kids home from school; they didn’t go to shul.” Still, the scope of the attack had moved many others to pray together.
