The American Jewish Committee released its annual report called The State of Antisemitism in America for the First Time ever.

The report shows that a majority of Jewish Americans, 56%, have changed their behavior out of fear of anti-Semitism, and that more than three quarters of American Jews say they feel less safe.

As a Jewish person living in this country because of the October 7th attacks.

Ted Deutsch is the CEO of the American Jewish Committee known as AJC, and he says that antisemitism has reached a tipping point in America, threatening the freedoms of American Jews and casting an ominous shadow across our society.

Rabbi David Levy is regional director of AJC in New Jersey, and he had this to say about what needs to change.

We take those numbers, and we've been working through our center for Education Advocacy with those who are responsible for educating future generations university presidents, school administrators, principals of high schools and of middle schools.

I have spent an incredible amount of time working with our new Jersey superintendents and principals to try to make our schools a place not just that are safe and secure and free of hate, but places that educate our young people in how to be better citizens and in how to build the kind of society that we hope they'll all be part of, where people don't have to be fearful of hate, where hate doesn't have a place in New Jersey.
