One more note related to post 170:
I listened to a recent interview in which the interviewee said antisemitism has reached such a fevered pitch in France that Jews are fleeing the country. Jewish leaders are advising Jews to not wear yamakas in public and if speaking Hebrew to do so softly so not to draw attention to themselves.
