Allegiance Project Foundation Deeply Disturbed by Attack at Temple Israel.
Urges Greater Community Involvement to School and Ministry Safety
West Bloomfield, Michigan – March 12, 2026 – The Allegiance Project Foundation is deeply upset by today’s violent attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township. An armed suspect rammed a vehicle into the building, which houses the synagogue’s Early Childhood Center serving over 140 young students, before opening fire and being stopped by an on-site security guard. The security guard was injured, but thankfully all children, teachers, staff, and other community members are reported safe.
Houses of worship should always remain places of peace, faith, and community. Acts of violence targeting people gathered to pray, learn, and worship are an attack not only on those individuals, but on the fundamental freedoms that define our nation.
This moment calls on all parents, educators, and community members to step up. Today is a reminder that vigilance matters, training matters, and security matters. Every congregation should be a safe place to worship.
At the Allegiance Project Foundation, we are committed to school and community safety. Our mission is rooted in the belief that protecting communities is a calling, not just a job. We hire veterans for school security and provide specialized training to safeguard schools with practical, affordable security solutions funded through community support.
We stand in solidarity with the Temple Israel community, the Jewish families of Michigan, and everyone touched by this senseless act.
To join our mission to hire veterans, expand training, and bring affordable solutions for school safety please visit www.allegianceproject.org to support. Every gift strengthens the shield around our children and neighborhoods.
