The American Jewish Committee's annual 'State of Antisemitism' survey found that 31% of U.S. Jews reported being the target of an antisemitic incident over the past year, with 3% involving physical attacks. The survey also showed that two-thirds of Jews felt less secure in America compared to the previous year, and 93% of Jews viewed antisemitism as a problem in the country, compared to 70% of the general public.
Why it matters
The survey results highlight the ongoing challenges and threats faced by the Jewish community in the U.S., even as debates continue over the effectiveness of funding initiatives to combat antisemitism. The data shows antisemitism remains elevated, with younger Jews disproportionately impacted, raising concerns about the safety and security of the community.
The details
The seventh annual 'State of Antisemitism' survey found that 31% of U.S. Jews reported being the target of an antisemitic incident, with 3% involving physical attacks. The survey also showed that two-thirds of Jews felt less secure in America compared to the previous year, and 93% of Jews viewed antisemitism as a problem in the country, compared to 70% of the general public. Much of the data reflects the ongoing challenges faced by the Jewish community in the wake of the October 7th terror attacks, with American Jews between the ages of 18-29 bearing the brunt, with 47% saying they were a target of antisemitism over the last year, compared to 28% among those 30 and over.
- The 'State of Antisemitism' survey was released on February 10, 2026.

What they’re saying
“The reason it's so important for us to share this information with leaders across the country, and for Jewish community members to be able to share this with their neighbors and their co-workers, is to highlight that these attacks against the Jewish community are not a series of one-offs.”
— Ted Deutch, CEO, American Jewish Committee (eJewishPhilanthropy)
What’s next
The American Jewish Committee plans to continue sharing the survey data with leaders across the country to raise awareness about the ongoing threat of antisemitism and the need for action to address it.
The takeaway
The 'State of Antisemitism' survey underscores the persistent and troubling levels of antisemitism in the U.S., with younger Jews disproportionately impacted, highlighting the need for sustained efforts to combat this issue and ensure the safety and security of the Jewish community.
