Friday was the orthodox Jewish school cheder in Southern Amsterdam closed following the closure of Jewish schools in Belgium. Who had taken measures after the anti-terrorist action that Thursday was held by the Belgian police. Jewish schools have police protection since the attack on the Jewish Museum in Brussels in May. Last Friday cheder was guarded by police and members of the Royal Military Police.
Binyomin Jacobs, Vice President and Chief Rabbi cheder, Thursday night was a wake up call by a colleague, as he said in NRC Weekend. “I was told that Jewish schools in Belgium continued to close the next day. I had to decide at that time whether we were going to open. “At that time there was little information. “Were there indications of an attack? Came the advice of the police? We did not know it. But in danger you should not cross, I always say. “There was no immediate reason to close the school. Jacobs did this out of doubt, “based on emotion, not reason.”
The schools of the Jewish Foundation Comprehensive School (JBO) were just open Friday. They found the extra security is sufficient.
