When you walk into the Albany JCC, messages of solidarity greet you.
"We stand with you," read one. Another read "We stand against fear and hate."
The Jewish Community Center on Whitehall Road is one of dozens that have been targeted with unfounded bomb threats since early January. There have been four waves of calls and 69 incidents. The most recent wave happened Monday. The Albany was targeted in the second and third waves.
"We do know that the FBI nationally is on this," said Executive Director Adam Chaskin. "This is a high priority. We have been briefed from the highest levels of the FBI, we being the Executive Directors of JCCs."
Chaskin says some parents of kids who attend the Early Childhood Education center are concerned and a couple have pulled their kids out of the program.
"I'm not hiding from that fact, but the overwhelming majority of people understand what our security procedures are," he said.
Some added security measures include closing the front entrance and only using the back one, and adding photos to all staff badges.
For the first time since the threats began, President Donald Trump commented on them on Tuesday.
"The anti-Semitic threats targeting our Jewish community and our community centers are horrible and are painful, and a very sad reminder that [work] still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil," Trump said.
Chaskin wants the people in this community to know everything you expect from the JCC, like the pool, the programs, and Tuesday bridge, will still continue without any interruptions.
"We are still here," he said. "We're not going anywhere, and we still are that place for the entire community to come and feel safe and come together."
