By CAM

A new survey analyzing the impact of antisemitism on American Jews has revealed a significant increase in antisemitic experiences since October 7, 2023. The study found that 3.5 million American Jews have personally encountered antisemitism since October 7, 2023. Conducted by Dr. Ira Sheskin of the University of Miami, administered by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago (NORC), and commissioned by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), the survey was conducted with a randomized sample of 1,075 American Jews between August 12 and September 3, 2024. The results revealed that one-fifth of Jewish children (380,000) have personally experienced antisemitism since October 7. There was also a sharp increase in local community experiences, with 25% of Jewish adults reporting antisemitism in their area, more than double previous reports.
