Jewish organizations have expressed alarm over cuts to a grant program that provides funds for security measures at places of worship amid a rise in antisemitism in the United States.
In a recently passed spending bill, Congress cut $30.5 million from the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP), marking a 10 percent decrease.
