Envoy Elan Carr says he sees his first priority as ensuring the day-to-day safety of Jews around the world. “If a community cannot feel safe, if you can’t leave the house and know that you’re going to come back in one piece, or send your kids to school and know that they’re safe, there is no quality of life. It is intolerable to live in such a place,” says Carr. “So, what we’re looking at is to make sure Jewish assets are protected. In countries especially where Jews are being attacked on the streets — and there is no shortage of examples of that — protecting Jewish assets and making sure that Jews are safe and protected is number one.”
