The murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers at a Jewish museum event in Washington, D.C., has sparked horror and fear within the Jewish community. Israeli Consul General Marco Sermoneta condemned the attack as a heinous act of terror linked to increasing antisemitism. He noted that many in the community are now afraid to display Jewish symbols openly. Local Jewish leaders, including Rabbi Avigdor Ashtar, are taking measures to enhance security at their places of worship amid rising concerns over safety, while law enforcement reassures there are no immediate threats to local communities.
Sermoneta tells us he's horrified by the attack, which he says is the direct result of rising antisemitism.
Rabbi Ashtar says steps are already being taken to increase security at his synagogue and give his congregation peace of mind.
