Sorry to bust Dannon's bubble, but in my years in NYC, I encountered anti-Semitic harassment frequently, though not daily, on the subways and streets. The UN is bound to be worse, although without the regular threats of violence, both implicit and sometimes explicit that I encountered.

New York, for all intents and purposes, is a Jewish city! I think it's one of the largest Jewish populations outside Israel with many Orthodox and Hasidim walking around unharmed. While I don't deny it's possible to be on the receiving end of anti-Semitism, it is quite unlikely to be a frequent part of daily life here. All my friends are Jewish and they would scratch their heads at your comment. I'm half Jewish on one side of my family and I've rarely heard any anti-Semitic comments.

in 2015, the General Assembly passed 22 resolutions against Israel. "One resolution was passed against Iran, one against North Korea, and Syria - zero resolutions, even though there are 250,000 dead there" Says it all. The UN flag may as well feature a crescent moon.

In a manner, I consider myself "Jewish", by default.
My savior is "Jewish".

If you are Orthodox, you are likely to experience more trouble than if you are not because all the bigoted idiots can identify you as Jewish.
However, no Jewish person should be harassed in the US, anywhere and we should really raise you know what over it. Muslims are a great source of and inspiration for hating Jews in the US and Europe, now that they are present in great numbers and hugely activist. : (
