A total of 3,700 antisemitic incidents were recorded in the United Kingdom in 2025, marking the second-highest annual total ever documented, according to the latest report by the Community Security Trust (CST).
The figure represents a 4% increase from 2024, when CST logged 3,556 incidents. Only 2023 saw a higher total.
CST’s Antisemitic Incidents Report 2025 reveals 3,700 anti-Jewish hate incidents across the UK last year, the second-highest total ever recorded. This marks a 4% rise from 2024 and continues the elevated levels seen since October 2023.

The most serious incident occurred on Yom Kippur at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in Manchester. The terrorist attack killed Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby and wounded three others. CST confirmed it was the first fatal antisemitic terror attack since the organization began monitoring incidents in 1984.
The violence triggered an immediate surge. CST logged 40 antisemitic incidents on the day of the attack and another 40 the following day. Those were the two highest daily totals of 2025. October became the highest monthly total of the year and the fifth-highest month on record.
A smaller spike followed in December after an Islamic State-inspired attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach, Australia. The increase again showed how antisemitic violence abroad can reverberate in the UK.
Beyond the Yom Kippur attack, CST documented three additional incidents of extreme violence and 170 antisemitic assaults.
For the first time, every month of 2025 recorded more than 200 antisemitic incidents. The average monthly total reached 308. That figure is exactly double the monthly average before October 2023.
Incidents in schools fell by 23%, and university-related cases declined by 41%. Even so, the overall totals confirmed that antisemitism in Britain remained at sustained and historically high levels.
CST Chief Executive Mark Gardner said the findings reflected “the depths of extremism faced by Jews and all our British society,” adding the CST was “even more determined to keep protecting our community, giving it strength and dignity so it can lead the life of its choice.”
CST’s 2025 report shows that antisemitism in Britain is increasingly normalized and embedded in daily life.
