Texas Jews Live in Fear
While many incidents at Jewish institutions don’t involve physical threats — graffiti and anonymous threats are more prevalent — they are unsettling, nonetheless.

That is especially important for the Jewish people, who cannot have too many allies at a time when a wave of antisemitism shows no sign of easing. American Jewish Committee’s newly released State of Antisemitism in America 2025 Report highlights why that matters more than ever.
