Deutch (D-FL-22) 12/04/2021: In reply to TweetA few weeks ago at GWU, a Torah scroll, a Jewish sacred text, was destroyed by laundry detergent. This tracks w/@ADL & @HillelIntl findings that ~1/3 of Jewish students have experienced antisemitism in the last year, and 15% have felt the need to hide their identity. #ShineALight – “@ADL @HillelIntl In May, a young Jewish man was beaten in the middle of Times Square, one of many attacks during the conflict b/w Israel and Hamas. This is why @AJCGlobal found nearly 1 in 4 Jewish Americans in 2020 avoided publicly wearing or displaying things that might identify them as Jewish.”
