Rosh Hashana begins at sundown Monday, ushering in the High Holy Days, with the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department pledging their customary increased patrols around Jewish institutions.

“Our officers will be visible in neighborhoods, synagogues, schools and community centers — not only to deter crime, but also to provide reassurance and partnership,” LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said in a statement issued Saturday.
