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....

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.
