Whether you’ve lived here, have family or a home here, or you simply love Cape Town’s Jewish community, you are our Global Family. And as family, you deserve the full picture.
Every patrol, response, safe minyan, school day, and simcha exists because ordinary people choose to step up. Together, we’ve built one of the most respected community safety, security and 24/7 emergency medical response
organisations in the world.
But the reality is this: growing antisemitic threats, rising costs,
and zero national government support, means we cannot slow down. To keep protecting our community with the excellence and care they deserve, we need our Global Family.
Stand with us so we can keep standing strong for every Jew in Cape Town. If you’d like to discuss creating something powerful together or have any questions, click the Whatsapp button below or send an email to amandaz@csocape.org.za
