Rising antisemitism during Rosh Hashanah

Overview

As the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, begins, religious communities in various Western regions are facing increased challenges due to rising antisemitism.

In Australia, the Jewish community has experienced heightened antagonism following the events of October 7 and the Bondi attack, prompting some individuals to conceal their religious identity to avoid hostility.

In Germany, religious and political leaders have issued warnings regarding the rise of antisemitic narratives. Heiner Wilmer, Chairman of the German Bishops' Conference, noted that antisemitism has become more overt in social media, political debates, and on the streets. Similarly, Munich Mayor Dominik Krause expressed alarm over a growing right-wing shift and the normalization of antisemitic rhetoric, pledging municipal support to ensure Jewish citizens feel secure.
