"In America, only Jews need courage to go to their place of worship," said CAM CEO Sacha Roytman. "The fight against antisemitism demands solidarity, action, and accountability from every leader, every institution, and every citizen. Antisemitism is a moral rot in our society that must be excised wherever and whenever it manifests."

A total of eight incidents at synagogues across the globe were monitored by the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM this week, including the bombing of a historic synagogue in Liège, Belgium, gunfire at two Toronto area synagogues, and the arrests of suspicious individuals near synagogues in Oslo and Trondheim in Norway.
