Nearly 80 percent of American Jews felt less safe after the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, and fearing antisemitism, many changed their public behavior, the American Jewish Committee (AJC) said Feb. 13 in its new report on antisemitism.
Specifically, 78 percent of American Jews said the attack made them feel less safe here because of their Jewish identity, and 46 percent changed their behavior afterwards, the AJC said in releasing its findings. The 46 percent was an increase from the previous year’s 38 percent.
The American public in general is becoming more aware of antisemitism, the survey found, with 92 percent saying antisemitism affects society as a whole and that all of society is responsible for combatting it.

A Lifeway Bible study says, “Wedding ceremonies typically include the exchanging of vows. A couple declares their commitment to each other by saying, “I do.” God established marriage as a covenant. It is a formal commitment before God. God’s commitment to His people is also in the form of a covenant. Because God is eternal and faithful, His covenant with believers is everlasting. This truth is highlighted in God’s covenant with Abraham.
In Genesis 17, we read about how God graciously chose to make a covenant with His people. Put your own faith into action as you seek to follow Him daily. Trust God to accomplish what only He can accomplish.”
