Heightened security is urged for Jewish institutions across the U.S. ahead of the High Holy Days, as antisemitic hate crimes reached nearly 63% of religion-based incidents last year. Political rhetoric intensifies with RNC Chairman Joe Gruters warning of risks from a Democratic Congress and former President Trump attacking Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, who apologized for comments on a synagogue attack. Meanwhile, Jewish Canadians concerned about rising antisemitism are exploring relocation, prompting advocacy for expedited U.S. entry pathways.
