The new data, released just weeks ahead of Jewish high holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, revealed that overall hate crimes jumped by 15.8% over the last year \u2014 425 in 2026 vs. 367 in 2025.<\/p>\n

Anti-Jewish hate crimes specifically have jumped by 8% and accounted for more than half of the confirmed hate crimes within the first eight months of this year, despite Jewish New Yorkers only accounting for about 10% of the Big Apple\u2019s population.<\/p>\n

The sickening crimes \u2014 including violent ones like the stabbing of a Jewish man outside of an Upper West Side synagogue in July \u2014 have continued to rise, even as the NYPD said it had overseen the safest summer ever recorded.<\/p>\n
