(Daily Signal)—A top leader in the Jewish community is sounding the alarm about rising security concerns for Jews and supporters of Israel in the United States.
“You cannot have one faith group, one community, that has to be behind barricades, just to go practice our faith,” Eric Fingerhut, the president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America, told The Daily Signal.
The Anti-Defamation League reported 9,354 antisemitic incidents in the U.S. in 2024 alone, the highest number since the organization began tracking them more than 40 years ago. And the dramatic rise in antisemitism in America is being felt on the ground by the Jewish community.
“The costs of security [in] the Jewish community are rising so dramatically that it’s almost to the point of infringing on our constitutional right to practice our faith, that people are having to cancel events or not engage in activities that they want to and that are part of being free,” Fingerhut explained.
Fingerhut has been a longtime leader of the Jewish community in America, having represented Ohio’s 19th Congressional District in the House of Representatives as a Democrat during the 1990s.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
