Story summary

Synagogues and other Jewish institutions across America spent more than $1 billion on security last year as antisemitic hate crimes continue to rise since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. This marks a 33% increase in security spending from the previous year, according to The Jewish Federations of North America. In 2024, the figure was $765 million, highlighting the growing need for protection. The surge in antisemitic incidents has become increasingly common since October, affecting Jewish restaurants, markets, and synagogues with vandalism, verbal abuse, and even physical attacks on Jews walking down sidewalks. Over 60% of all religiously motivated hate crimes in 2025 targeted Jews despite the group making up less than 3% of the U.S. population. This alarming trend intensified during Jewish high holidays like Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, underscoring the heightened vulnerability of Jewish communities during religious gatherings.
