Update: The synagogue told WLBT the fencing is temporary and was erected for construction.
It is a dark day in Jackson when a place of worship has to hide behind a fence.
Unfortunately, such is happening on Old Canton Road in Northeast Jackson. The fence will be eight feet tall.
One can't blame Beth Israel for taking such action. It is just sad it has come to this.

The fence could be in place for the upcoming construction.
Yes it is. You are 100% correct! If that firebugs parents had gotten him help instead of doing nothing maybe the fence wouldn’t be needed
Urban decay continues and I have no idea what we can do about it.
My church is concerned about the Dollar General store under construction across the road from our church. We don't want to convey a message that anyone is unwelcome at our church, but we are not oblivious to the crime that usually follows development like this.
Does anyone know how far away from a church alcohol can be sold and how that distance is measured, or which government agency can answer those questions?
There is one place of worship just north of the Madison city limits on Highway 51 that has a fence as well…
It’s a temporary construction fence that’s been planned for over a month. They started installing it Monday. It will come down when the renovation is complete
Judging from the kid's openness with his father, I'm guessing that "help" has been ongoing for some time. Counseling and meds... The father being instructed to be non-judgemental, in order to "keep those lines of communication open!" The meds (my guess, again) removed the normal barriers which keep people from running around doing crazy things.
It's an easy guess, which entity subtly conditioned Pittman to want to do those crazy things. The meds (probably) just removed the inhibitions.
6:46, I was thinking the same thing.
A fence makes good neighbors. It also keeps trash from blowing onto the property and keep vandals out of the construction site.
It's partially due to upcoming construction, where OSHA and public safety standards require fencing to keep pedestrians and unauthorized, non-medically-covered personnel out of the area. Calm down, Dramafish.
Besides, humanity is dead and greed is the new people engine. Or have you been living under a magnolia tree for the last 20 years?
You're full of crap. Members told me it is specifically for security. The fence will be 8 feet tall, I was told.
"There is one place of worship just north of the Madison city limits on Highway 51 that has a fence as well…"
Let me fix that post for ya...
There is one building, masquerading as a place of worship, just north of Madison city limits, on highway 51, that has a fence. However, it's widely claimed that Sharia indoctrination IS worship.
As a member of the congregation, I can emphatically say it is for both. This is a temporary fence to use until construction is complete. At that time, it will be replaced with more discrete security measures.
6:24 this has nothing to do with urban decay this a has to do with one group being targeted for their beliefs and not being murdered because of those beliefs
@8:08 PM raises good points. Meds can make a person have crazy thoughts and do crazy things.
Allegedly 4 boys that had attended one of the local elite private schools all having attended high school together have committed suicide. Decades ago I don’t remember one suicide in the 12 years from 1st thru 12th grades. But that was before we starting drugging kids instead of raising them.
Allegedly 6–7 million i.e. 9–10% of U.S. children aged 6–17 are currently taking drugs such as ADHD stimulants, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, antipsychotics & mood stabilizers (lots of $$$ being made from these drugs). And idiot counselors that can’t run their own homes and weak parents (especially women that take the child’s side over Dad’s) are responsible for a lot of this mess.
Not making any excuses for Pittman’s terrorist actions. He needs to be made an example of via long term punishment.
Wonder when the call to prayer will be broadcast from that place on 51 for all to hear? Its only a matter of time the way the world is going.
I'm 109% sure that will stop the rise of antisemitism
"If that firebugs parents had gotten him help instead of doing nothing maybe the fence wouldn’t be needed"
I see you're still trying to blame it on the family.
You obviously have some personal motivation in play, since you make the same statement on every related post.
Fish, evidently you need to get better 'friends' associated with the Temple; the word from those in charge have said that this is a temporary fence, erected to stand while clearing the damaged building and for construction. It is NOT designed to remain after the reconstruction of the Temple.
So, take your short-ass "you're full of crap" comment from earlier today back and either get a more direct, from somebody in charge, answer and restate your hard-nosed response or retract it.
And, if you don't post this comment, I'll call your ass out - not on this site but personally.
Feel free to do it.... to my face.

Hear, hear.
Who's full of it now?
Oops!!! Bad source.
It's not a dark day, it's simply reality. For at least seventy years churches have erected steel barrier-bars around their window and ground A/C units to deter thieves. For as long as they could afford a bus, churches have had to secure them behind high, chain link, locked fences.
I live in a lower crime city, and we erected an 8' fence around our construction. Its a safety and theft prevention. Cameras too.
