Melissa Franklin has always decorated her home for Hanukkah 바카라 게임 웹사이트� proudly hanging a Star of David on her porch and placing her family바카라 게임 웹사이트�s menorah in the front window.Video above: Antisemitism, Islamophobia probe: Universities under fireThis year, however, will be different.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I just can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t see us doing it because I don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t want retaliation,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Franklin said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t want vandalism on my home.바카라 게임 웹사이트�In the weeks since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, hate crimes and antisemitism have spiked across the United States.Jewish synagogues and community centers have increased security amid threats of violence, protests have erupted on college campuses, and a 69-year-old Jewish man, Paul Kessler, died in Southern California following a confrontation at dueling protests over the war. A pro-Palestinian protester has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and battery causing serious bodily injury in Kessler바카라 게임 웹사이트�s death. He has pleaded not guilty. A statement from his attorney called his actions that day 바카라 게임 웹사이트�peaceful.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Franklin said the surge in antisemitism has made her feel uncomfortable making any public display of her Jewish identity, or her support for Israel.Leaders from the Jewish Federations of North America acknowledged there is widespread fear among Jewish families. Sarah Eisenman, chief community and Jewish life officer for the organization, said she empathizes with Jewish Americans who are changing their normal routines or hiding markers of their Jewish heritage to avoid being targeted.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I do think they are rightfully fearful,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Eisenman said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I think it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a scary environment right now and we should all be outraged at what we are seeing.바카라 게임 웹사이트�CNN recently asked Arabs, Muslims and Jews in America how they are facing the new reality of increased hate-motivated attacks against their communities. Nearly 800 people responded from across the country. Some Jewish Americans told CNN they are now hiding their kippahs, refusing to wear their Star of David necklaces and changing long-held traditions for religious holidays.Some practicing Jews have said they are even afraid to visit one of the most sacred places in their faith 바카라 게임 웹사이트� the synagogue 바카라 게임 웹사이트� out of fear of being killed, attacked or harassed because of their religion. These are their stories.He바카라 게임 웹사이트�s covering his kippah with a capMichael Edelman said his mother has always warned him not to expose his kippah 바카라 게임 웹사이트� a head covering traditionally worn by Jewish men 바카라 게임 웹사이트� on public transportation in New York City.바카라 게임 웹사이트�My mother would always tell me 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Please wear a hat when you go on the trains,바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트� Edelman said, adding she feared he could be attacked or targeted for his religious beliefs.For years, Edelman, 25, said he ignored his mother바카라 게임 웹사이트�s concerns.But as the Israel-Hamas war continues to drive a surge in antisemitism in the U.S., he said he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s taking her advice more seriously.Now, every time he leaves the house, Edelman said he puts a baseball cap over his kippah.바카라 게임 웹사이트�People say you should be proud and not be afraid, but overall, I think it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s smarter to wear a hat (over my kippah),바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said.Edelman said the news reports of antisemitic attacks and anti-Israel protests have also made him more mindful of his surroundings in public. He has stopped wearing headphones while walking, so he can hear if someone is approaching.Earlier this year, Edelman graduated from Yeshiva University, but he said seeing the haunting images on TV of the Israel-Hamas war 바카라 게임 웹사이트� especially images of victims and the widespread destruction 바카라 게임 웹사이트� has made him so anxious he has struggled to focus on applying for jobs.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s been hard to focus I바카라 게임 웹사이트�m not going to lie,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Edelman said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I check the news 24/7.바카라 게임 웹사이트�In recent weeks, he said he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s avoided parts of New York where rallies are taking place, in case violence erupts. He also avoids walking near the Columbia University campus where tensions have simmered after a student was assaulted while hanging up posters in support of Israel. New York police charged another student with assault and harassment as a hate crime.One thing the war will not stop him from doing, Edelman said, is going to his synagogue to pray 바카라 게임 웹사이트� it gives him comfort during a difficult time.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We pray for peace constantly,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Edelman said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We pray three times a day.바카라 게임 웹사이트�He considers removing the Mezuzah from his doorElliot Malin has proudly worn a Star of David necklace his entire life.But after protests erupted in his Reno, Nevada, community and he learned of attacks against Jews across the country, he decided to take it off.In October, Malin said demonstrators at a pro-Palestine rally yelled antisemitic obscenities at him.Malin, a 31-year-old political consultant, said he attended the rally to make sure Jewish community members were not putting themselves at risk and chose not to engage with the demonstrators. But the threats have had a chilling effect.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I know that I am a very visible member of the community, but my wife is not as visible. My parents are not as visible, and I am afraid for them,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said.Now, Malin and his family are considering removing their Mezuzah 바카라 게임 웹사이트� a sacred scroll that blesses a home 바카라 게임 웹사이트� from their doorpost. Malin said someone drew a swastika on the light post in front of his house in 2016. He now worries it could happen again.바카라 게임 웹사이트�What we are seeing is a lot more danger and a lot more fear,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We are just trying to protect ourselves as much as we can.바카라 게임 웹사이트�But his past experiences have made him more worried about his family바카라 게임 웹사이트�s safety.Malin said he has been to a synagogue only once since the war started and has no immediate plans to return. Although there were armed security guards present, he said he still felt uneasy.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t pray without armed police presence,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t go to our synagogues without somebody being there with guns. In what world would this be acceptable for any other religion? Some of our Muslim neighbors have to deal with the same thing and it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s not fair to them either.바카라 게임 웹사이트�She바카라 게임 웹사이트�s afraid of being 바카라 게임 웹사이트�publicly Jewish바카라 게임 웹사이트�Although Melissa Franklin has chosen not to decorate her house for Hanukkah, the Phoenix-area mother said her biggest concern lately has been the safety of her four college-aged children.Franklin, 50, said she has asked them to hide anything that represents their Jewish identity including their Star of David necklaces and her son바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Hebrew tattoo.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s like, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t go out of your way to be publicly Jewish,바카라 게임 웹사이트� and that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s really sad,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Franklin said.She바카라 게임 웹사이트�s particularly worried about her children being caught in the middle of the dueling protests that have erupted on college campuses across the country.The climate on the campuses, she said, is 바카라 게임 웹사이트�terrifying and too much to bear.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Franklin hasn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t felt safe going to Jewish community events or her synagogue, despite security being in place.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Honestly, I just don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t feel comfortable,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t want to orphan my kids because I was naïve enough to go and think that nothing would happen to me.바카라 게임 웹사이트�As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, Franklin said she never imagined a mass attack on Israel in her lifetime.The world vowed 바카라 게임 웹사이트�never again,바카라 게임 웹사이트� and Franklin said she always hoped that the mass killing and attacks on Jews would not be repeated.바카라 게임 웹사이트�You feel this insulation from the terror the past generation has gone through 바카라 게임 웹사이트� but it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s just a false sense of security,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said.
