Overview
- Police recorded 330 suspected antisemitic incidents out of 576 total hate crimes last year, or roughly one alleged anti-Jewish incident every 26 hours.
- Overall reported hate crimes declined about 12% from 2024, yet antisemitic incidents remained far higher than any other category.
- The next most-reported category was sexual orientation with 52 cases, a disparity noted as striking given Jews account for roughly 10% of the city’s population.
- Commissioner Jessica Tisch called antisemitism the city’s most persistent hate threat and presented the figures alongside Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Governor Kathy Hochul.
- Officials said patrols near synagogues, schools, and community centers are increasing and online threats face heightened scrutiny, while the NYPD stressed these counts are suspected bias cases that can be reclassified.
