(CNN) - A new report found there were nearly 3,700 antisemitic incidents in the U.S. last year.
That’s the most since the Anti-Defamation League began recording them in 1979.
According to the ADL’s report, incidents include assault, vandalism and harassment.
In 2022, there was also a 69% increase in attacks against visibly identifiable Orthodox Jews.
According to FBI hate crime figures, American Jews are disproportionately affected by hate crimes, compared to other religious groups.
