Antisemitism assaults are on the rise across the US, but this city is seeing the most

Jewish Americans were targeted last year by the highest number of violent attacks in 46 years, a new report says. And 2026 isn't starting off much better, especially in and around New York City.

The Anti-Defamation League released its annual audit of antisemitic incidents Wednesday, revealing that the number of physical assaults against Jewish victims rose by 4% from 2024 to 2025. Of those incidents, 44% occurred in New York, which has the largest Jewish population of any U.S. state.
