In the wake of recent hate speech targeting the Jewish community at Princeton University, a high school in Newton, and in too many other places across the country, we look to Bedford, MA, where a community once powerfully responded to a series of anti-semitic incidents at their own schools.
Not In Our Town's Patrice O'Neill sat down with Bedford School Superintendent Jon Sills, Bedford Police Chief Robert Bongiorno, and Rabbi Susan Abramson of Temple Shalom Emeth, to talk about their collaborative, inspiring response in March of 2014.
