Hanukkah began at sundown Sunday and ends Dec. 26.
But this year’s Festival of Lights comes against a backdrop of darkness — rising antisemitism and a steady increase in the number of hateful acts directed at Jewish people over the past five years.
The Anti-Defamation League reports that antisemitic incidents reached an all-time high in the United States in 2021, with a total of 2,717 incidents of assault, harassment and vandalism reported to the organization.
That’s the highest number on record since the Anti-Defamation League began tracking antisemitic incidents in 1979. It’s an average of more than seven incidents each day and a 34% increase year-over-year.
On Cincinnati Edition, we’ll discuss celebrating Hanukkah against this backdrop of antisemitism.

I hope this trend of negativity goes away! The Jewish faith has made many contributions to our nation!

Defunding the police and these radical Democrats don't help any.

This is a symptom of democrat run cities. Kim Classic ran for Congress but she didn't make it but the narrative is true. Cincinnati probably has the same narrative and the same problems.
