Pasch said. “And that inevitably leads to the growth of all hate. What starts with Jews never ends with Jews.”

A major benefit of the survey is now ADL offices across the country can use it as a guide to determine what is driving the growth of antisemitism and design interventions as a response, Pasch said.

“Once we have a key sense of what drives antisemitism, we can better target interventions towards those specific drivers,” he said. “It’s going to take a whole-of-society approach to combat the rise in antisemitic beliefs, attitudes and incidents. Every single one of us has a role to play, and what this study shows is we can’t wait any longer for everyone to get involved.”

And while organizations play a large part in advocating on the statewide and national level, Pasch said the role individuals play in their communities is just as important.

“Whether it is uncomfortable conversations with friends, colleagues, neighbors or elected officials, we can no longer let antisemitic comments get by,” he said. “We can’t ignore it anymore. Those uncomfortable conversations are necessary to stop this in its tracks. We can all do our part in our communities.”
