NYPD boosts Synagogue security for Passover amid anti-Semitic crime surge
The NYPD is enhancing security at synagogues and Jewish institutions across New York City ahead of Passover, addressing a 7% rise in antisemitic hate crimes in 2024, which now constitute 62% of all hate incidents, including violent attacks and vandalism. Commissioner Jessica Tisch and the Hate Crimes Task Force are coordinating with community leaders to ensure safety, amid growing fears among Jewish New Yorkers following incidents like subway assaults and swastika graffiti.
