Newly released NYPD data reveals that antisemitic hate crimes once again topped the list of bias-motivated attacks in the city, with Jewish New Yorkers targeted in 39 separate incidents last month — more than all other hate crimes combined.
The total number of reported hate crimes in March was 67. Antisemitic acts alone made up 58% of that figure, continuing a disturbing trend that has played out month after month across the five boroughs.
The data underscores what Jewish leaders and security officials have long warned: New York City’s Jewish community is facing an unprecedented wave of hatred and harassment. In the first three months of 2025, there have been 85 reported antisemitic crimes — nearly one incident every 26 hours.
The NYPD’s hate crime statistics, while preliminary, point to a consistent pattern: shuls vandalized, Orthodox Jews harassed on the street, and Jewish students targeted on campus. The figures include everything from verbal harassment and threats to physical assaults and property destruction.
Despite efforts from law enforcement and city leaders to address the crisis, the numbers have remained stubbornly high.
March 2025’s total of antisemitic incidents exactly matched the figure from March 2024, indicating little progress in stemming the tide of hate.

It’s all baloney. Fifty years ago anti semitism was big. Brooklyn neighborhoods like crown heights Boro park,Flatbush,Bensonhurst,Williamsburg were dangerous. You young generation don’t realize how dangerous Boro park was. It wasn’t all chassidim. Friday nights card would drive by throwing eggs and rocks at Jews. There were years where the murder rate was two thousand and mostly Jewish store owners were the victims. Today no one bothers you in religious areas. It’s just that there is a new industry called the anti semitism industry where secular groups like the ADL get millions in funding from politicians. They love saying every year anti semitism has increased so more money rolls in to their coffers. As far as colleges protesting Israel that’s to wake up the intermarried assimilated young Jews. I asked all my friends if they experienced any antisemitism compared to decades ago. All said no.
