Several council members condemned an antisemitic attack at Beth Israel in Jackson, Mississippi, describing it as a serious act of hate and expressing support for Jewish communities locally and nationally.

Council member Rivera and others called the act "not okay," and described outreach they plan to make to affected communities. Council member Saka said: "There is no room for antisemitism in this country, period." Members described personal connections to the Jewish community and said the council should signal solidarity and offer support across districts.

Speakers noted that the incident had historical resonance; Balducci and others recalled past attacks at the site and emphasized the need for continued civic engagement and vigilance. Council members said they would coordinate proclamations, attend vigils and work with city partners to support congregations and community safety.
