Since October 7, 2023, Jewish communities in the U.S. and Canada have faced an unprecedented rise in antisemitism — over 10,000 reported incidents targeting students, families, synagogues, and public spaces.
Shomrei Ha’Am is our bold response. A movement of Jewish pride, resilience, and physical readiness — rooted in Zionist values and collective strength.
This initiative will train over 250,000 Jews in Krav Maga and self-defense, deploying hundreds of elite IDF-trained instructors into schools, campuses, synagogues, and homes.
This is not just about physical defense — it is about reclaiming dignity and agency.
It’s about saying: “We will never be vulnerable again.”
From Phoenix to Toronto, from New York to Austin —
Shomrei Ha’Am is forging a new Jewish posture: strong, confident, and unapologetic.
Together, we reclaim what exile tried to take from us — the ability to stand tall and protect our future.
