随着高圣日临近，美国犹太教领袖表达了对反犹太主义威胁的深切忧虑。1Rabbi David Ingber指出，"这是我一生中最严重的反犹太主义上升"。1Rabbi Rick Jacobs则表示，"人们在很多情况下害怕公开表达他们的犹太身份"。1高圣日从本周五日落开始的罗什·哈沙纳（犹太新年）开启，至周日夜幕落幕；赎罪日将从9月20日日落持续至9月21日夜幕后。1
2024年以来，美国犹太社区遭遇多起暴力事件。1这些事件包括8月曼哈顿犹太教堂袭击、3月密歇根州庙宇汽车撞人事件，以及1月密西西比州犹太教堂纵火案。1面对这些威胁，犹太组织正在组织安全培训和网络研讨会进行应对，同时呼吁国会增加安全资助。1根据提案，非营利安全补助计划资金应从3亿美元增至10亿美元，但去年超过8000个申请者中仅有20%获得资助。1
除安全威胁外，美国犹太社区在以色列政策问题上也存在显著分歧。1根据美联社-NORC公共事务研究中心最近的调查，约十分之三的美国犹太人表示以色列对巴勒斯坦人犯下种族灭绝。1
American Jewish leaders are expressing deep anxiety about antisemitism threats and community divisions as the High Holy Days approach, with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, beginning this Friday at sunset and continuing through Sunday evening, followed by Yom Kippur from September 20 at sunset through September 21 evening.1 Rabbi David Ingber characterized the current climate, stating "this is the worst rise in antisemitism in my lifetime."1
Jewish organizations have mobilized security responses and advocacy efforts amid documented violence against American Jews in 2024, including an August attack on a Manhattan synagogue, a March vehicular incident at a Michigan temple, and a January synagogue arson in Mississippi.1 These organizations are conducting security training and webinars while calling on Congress to increase funding for nonprofits' safety programs, seeking to raise allocations from $300 million to $1 billion—a critical request given that last year only 20% of over 8,000 applicants received grants.1 Rabbi Rick Jacobs noted that "people are afraid in many instances to publicly express their Jewish identity."1
The community faces internal fractures alongside external threats. According to an AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey, approximately three in ten American Jews believe Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians.1 This theological and political divergence compounds the sense of vulnerability many Jewish Americans report experiencing as they prepare to observe their holiest days.
