A Florida man was arrested on September 19 after allegedly threatening to “hunt Jews” in videos showing firearms and tactical gear. Other recent cases include antisemitic threat letters sent to Jewish targets in South Florida and a man charged after allegedly trying to enter a Philadelphia synagogue and preschool while making antisemitic remarks. In August 2026, a man was charged with federal hate crimes after attacking a congregant and guard at Manhattan's Central Synagogue; the ADL reports antisemitic incidents remain elevated. New York also saw demonstrations around the UN, including opposing rallies; no related violence was reported. These incidents are geographically distinct, so travelers should follow local updates and use added awareness near Jewish institutions and large demonstrations....

There is antisemitic and anti-israel graffiti all over the place, with a “Heil Hitler” written on a wall in the main corner of the shopping area. The authorities don’t seem to care.

I live in New York City (specifically in Brooklyn) and proudly display my Jewishness, just like hundreds of thousands of us do here. There’s no basis to feel unsafe to the point of hiding your Jewishness.

While visiting, I noticed a red, green and black flag and was immediately alarmed. Later, I was notified that it was the pan-African flag. Other than that, I have felt safe in New York City. I was however shocked to see Ceasefire and Free Palestine flags on Jewish homes in areas such as Park Slope.
