More than a half dozen places of worship in Sonoma County are getting money from the state for security. California awarded seven local houses of worship a total of one-point-eight-million dollars. Congregation Shir Shalom in Sonoma will receive 200-thousand dollars as a rise in antisemitism is seen across the nation. The funds are part of a state program started in 2017 aimed at helping nonprofits that could be the target of hate crimes. Nearly 300 organizations across the state have been granted a total of 47-point-five-million dollars in the last two years.
