Antisemitism Rises in the US by 36% Over the Last Year | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A new report reveals antisemitic incidents in the US rose by 36% last year. The Anti-Defamation League tallied nearly 3,700 cases of assault, harassment or vandalism spanning the entire United States, marking the highest number on record since the first audit in 1979. Visibly Orthodox Jews were targeted in more than half of the assaults. Managing Director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, Rabbi Yaakov Menken, joins to share whether he is surprised by the ADL's findings and why he thinks we saw this surge in antisemitic activity. Rabbi Menken gives us his reaction to visibly Orthodox Jews being the target more than often to assaults. He tells us whether he is fearful for other Orthodox Jews. On another note, a recent article in the New York Times claimed that ancient Judaism recognized a variety of genders. Rabbi Menken explains whether this claim is reflective of Jewish law and what he has to say about this. He fills us in on any final thoughts.
