U.S. State Department urges global security for Jewish communities

High Holidays antisemitism security directive Jewish communities State Department

The U.S. State Department has issued a diplomatic directive to its global missions, urging local governments to increase security for Jewish communities during the upcoming High Holidays. The notice requests that host governments deploy law enforcement, counterterrorism units, or military personnel to synagogues and other locations hosting religious services.

In addition to securing religious sites, the directive emphasizes the need for protection in residential areas and along common walking routes used by worshippers. The State Department also highlighted the importance of establishing communication systems to warn observant Jews of immediate threats, noting that many do not use electronic devices during religious holidays.

The security push follows concerns regarding antisemitic incidents. Data from the Anti-Defamation League indicated that in 2025, Jews were the targets in 63% of reported religiously motivated hate crimes in the United States, totaling 1,528 incidents.
