An Inside Look at the Local ADL Response to the Colleyville Hostage Crisis
The story of what happened when hostage taker Malik Akram held Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker and others hostage for 11 hours on January 15, 2022 at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas is now known. What is not so well known is the inside story of ADL’s role and how it responded to this crisis. Cheryl Drazin, ADL’s Vice President for the Central Division, was on the ground in Colleyville that day. On this podcast, she describes what happened from the moment that she learned about the hostage taking. This is part two of a two-part series on ADL’s response.
