Someone told me about this today. Heartbreaking. I know you can’t “walk while Jewish” in Paris, but not in LA??? This is very sad. I live near a couple orthodox shuls w/Eruvs and on all sabbaths and holidays the whole family can be seen walking to synagogue. I’d like to think we still can walk. I mean of course I can’t walk in a maga hat, but I had hopes sheitels and yarmulkes were still respected around here with nearly as many Jews as in Tel Aviv.

This IS heartbreaking, but we should be accurate about what it is. It's not a general increase in antisemitism in the US, it's another predictable instance of Islamic hatred for Jews. Nonetheless, we let people like Farrakhan, and radical Imams, preach hatred openly - but label a President whose daughter converted and whose grandchildren are being brought up Jewish, an antisemite.

Last time I visited a synagogue in LA (the "Library Minyan") it was surrounded by a high fence with with security guards at the entrance. (This was several years ago.) It very much reminded me of the way things are in Europe.

I got off an elevator in McLean Va in a parking garage and there were two ME men talking very loudly about Allah, which is rare. We were walking to our car and I noticed two very nervous Jewish people (a man and his son) loading things into a car. Apparently I interrupted their harassment of the Jews.
