The legislation takes decisive action to protect Jewish communities, students, and institutions by strengthening the federal government&#8217;s ability to prevent and respond to antisemitic hate, violence, discrimination and intimidation, across all sectors. The bill comes at a critical moment for American Jews. According to ADL&#8217;s most recent Audit of Antisemitic Incidents, 2025 was one of the most violent years for American Jews, with 203 assaults, the highest number ADL has ever recorded, including 32 incidents involving a deadly weapon. Three people were killed in antisemitic attacks in 2025, the first murders as a result of antisemitic violence in the U.S. since 2019. ADL recorded 6,274 antisemitic incidents across the United States in 2025, the third-highest year on record since ADL began tracking in 1979, and five times higher than a decade ago. In 2025, there was an average of 17 antisemitic incidents per day, compared to an average of eight per day between 2020 and 2022. Additionally, ADL recorded 1,129 antisemitic incidents at Jewish institutions alone in 2025, and while incidents on college campuses decreased significantly, they remained nearly three times higher than in 2021. At K-12 schools, incident levels remained largely unchanged, underscoring the urgent need for greater educational investment and stronger federal protections for Jewish students at all levels. No state was spared – with antisemitic incidents taking place in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. &#8220;The data is unambiguous: Jewish Americans are under threat in their communities, on their campuses and online, and the federal government must act,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of ADL. “ADL&#8217;s Audit of Antisemitic Incidents recorded 6,274 incidents in 2025 alone, including 203 physical assaults, the most we have ever recorded, and three murders. The Jewish American Security Act meets this moment with the seriousness it demands. By strengthening the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, bolstering protections fo
