Understanding Antisemitism Today

ADL 2021 Survey on Jewish Americans' Experiences with Antisemitism

The American Jewish community continues to face significant fear and anxiety from the threat of antisemitic or other hateful attacks and harassment. Following up on our 2020 survey results, we asked Jewish Americans to tell us about their experiences online and off with antisemitism. Their responses indicate that antisemitism still is very much a part of Jewish Americans’ lives.

  • No. 25: The Return of American Jewish Vulnerability
    Of all the concerns about the Jewish future, many of us took at least one aspect of Jewish life for granted: the safety and well-being of American Jewry. But now antisemitism is back at the center of the American Jewish agenda. The recent conflict in Gaza has been the pretext for physical assaults against Jews in New York, Los Angeles, and elsewhere around the country. Synagogues have been vandalized. Some American Jews are afraid to display Jewish symbols publicly. In this episode, Donniel Hartman, Yossi Klein Halevi, and Elana Stein Hain discuss a responsible Jewish approach toward contending with vulnerability and power.
