(Jewish Group) Jewish Community Senses Antisemitism Coming 'From All Directions': Jonathan Greenblat

Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO and National Director Jonathan Greenblatt said the Jewish community is "very concerned" amid the uptick in antisemitic incidents reported in the U.S.

Speaking with Newsweek editor-at-large Naveed Jamali for a Tuesday episode of Newsweek's The Daily Break podcast, which Jamali hosts, Greenblatt said antisemitism is "indisputably on the rise" across the country.

"The sense that antisemitism is coming at Jews from all directions is part of why I think many in the community right now are really very concerned," Greenblatt said.

Greenblatt appeared on the podcast just days after a man held people hostage for hours at a synagogue in Texas. The episode began by touching on the incident, which Greenblatt described as "a profoundly frightening event," as part of a wider conversation about the prevalence of antisemitism.
