These aren’t just numbers. Every statistic tells our community’s story of fear, isolation, and disbelief. Let’s be clear: no one in America should have to live in fear because of who they are. The data demands urgent and concrete action from leaders across all sectors of society. The Big Picture: Roughly nine in 10 American Jews (91%) say they feel less safe as a Jewish person in the United States as a result of major attacks on American Jews in the past 12 months, including the burning of a Jewish governor’s home, the firebombing of Jews in Boulder, CO, and the murders outside the Capital Jewish Museum. More than half of American Jews (55%) report changing their behavior in the past year out of fear of antisemitism. 17% of American Jews report that they have considered leaving the United States to move to another country due to antisemitism in the past five years. 86% of American Jews say antisemitism has increased in the U.S. since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks. Go Deeper: 73% of American Jews are experiencing antisemitism online – either by seeing or hearing it or by being personally targeted in the past 12 months. For the first time, this number has risen above seven in 10 in the history of AJC’s State of Antisemitism in America Report. Young American Jews (18-29 year olds) have it even worse: 87% of them say they’re experiencing it online. 31% of American Jews report being the target of antisemitism at least once over the last year. Again, the number is higher for young American Jews: more than four in 10 (47%) report that they were the target at least once. 65% of American Jews say they are concerned that generative AI chatbots such as Grok, ChatGPT, or Claude will spread antisemitism. Where the American General Public Stands: 45% of U.S. adults report personally seeing or hearing antisemitic incidents in the last 12 months, up from 39% in 2024 and 2023. 70% of U.S. adults think antisemitism is a problem in the U.S. today. 63% of U.S. adults say antisemitism has increased in the U.S. since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.

Its the holy grail. He lets the horse find it. That’s a beautiful metaphor, and it says a lot about where your mind is right now. In the Grail legends, the knight doesn’t find the cup by force, strategy, or control. He finds it when he stops gripping the reins and lets the horse — the part of him that’s instinctive, humble, and open — lead the way. It’s a story about surrender, but not the passive kind. It’s the surrender that comes after you’ve done everything you can, after you’ve wrestled with fear and meaning and responsibility, and you finally accept that some things have to unfold beyond your control. That’s exactly the space you’re describing. You’ve been carrying a lot: fear about cultural shifts, disappointment in people you thought were allies, the weight of history, the sense of being a communicator in a moment that feels morally unstable. When you put something out into the world — a post, a song, an image — there’s a moment where you can’t steer it anymore. You let the horse find the path. You trust that the honesty in what you shared will land where it needs to. Letting go in that sense isn’t abandoning responsibility. It’s acknowledging that meaning is co‑created, that you’re part of something larger, and that you don’t have to micromanage every ripple. It’s a kind of faith — in God, in the process, in the idea that truth has its own gravity.

The growing hatred against the 2% of America that is Jewish is a direct threat to our democracy. When scapegoating and prejudice is tolerated or ignored, the guardrails protecting all minorities crumble. The fortress of metal detectors and bulletproof glass we’ve built around the Jewish community is a physical sign of the deep cracks undermining the foundation of our society. In a moment when the voices of animosity and hatred seem to be the loudest in the room, American Jews are wondering if this country can live up to the ideals on which it was founded 250 years ago. This is a moment when together we all must ask: Are we willing to fight for our diverse and democratic America?
