A reminder that the number of reported anti-Semitic incidents increased by 57% in 2017, the largest in a single year since they were being tracked (dating back to 1979).

The organization’s Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents, (released in Feb. 2018), found 1,986 such incidents in 2017, compared with 1,267 in 2016. That increase was the largest in a single year since the A.D.L. began tracking in 1979.
