The AJC national poll on the topic of antisemitism confirms that confronting this continually evolving evil in American society requires urgent attention by American leadership and society in general.
When AJC undertook the largest and most comprehensive survey of American Jews ever on the topic of antisemitism in the United States, we discovered amazing agreement across Jews of different ages, political affiliations, and religious orientations.
This survey represents the largest and most comprehensive examination ever of American Jews’ experiences and perceptions of antisemitism. Its alarming findings should serve as a wakeup call—and a call to action. Please read the analysis by Avi Mayer, AJC Managing Director of Global Communications on USA Today.
Much of the most palpable and disturbing evidence of antisemitism can be found in the stories that AJC and members of its community have encountered on the ground in recent years.
A year after the massacre of 11 worshipers from three congregations inside the Tree of Life building in Pittsburgh, AJC asked members of the world’s second largest Jewish population if they are concerned about antisemitism in America. The answer was a resounding yes.
