Statement from ADL Austin Regional Director Jackie Nirenberg regarding the arrest of an Austin man.

📢 New name, who dis?

[ADL @ADL]

We are devastated by the deadly shooting at the @islamicsandiego. No one should fear for their safety while attending a house of worship or school.

Our hearts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the broader Muslim community during this horrific moment. ADL and the ADL Center on Extremism are monitoring the situation closely.

[ADL Texas @ADL_Texas]

Abe visited ADL's Southwest Region often, and he will be missed. May his memory be a blessing.

[ADL @ADL]

ADL deeply mourns the loss of our longtime national director, Abraham H. Foxman z”l. Abe, a Holocaust survivor, served his entire 50-year career at ADL, becoming one of the world’s foremost voices against antisemitism and hate.

May his memory be a blessing.

One incident is one too many.

[ADL Texas @ADL_Texas]

Violent incidents are up across the country and in Texas. Texas recorded four antisemitic assaults last year. One, is one too many.

[ADL @ADL]

���BREAKING: ADL recorded a total of 6,274 incidents of antisemitic assault, harassment and vandalism across the U.S. in 2025, an average of 17 incidents per day. Incidents occurred in all 50 states and Washington D.C.

The total number of incidents decreased by 33% from 2024 – that's measurable progress. However, the total remains 70% higher than in 2022, prior to the Oct. 7th Hamas massacre, and 130% higher than 5 years ago.

2025 was the third highest year on record for antisemitic incidents since ADL began tracking them in 1979. It was also one of the most violent years in recent memory. Physical assaults increased by 4%, assaults involving a deadly weapon increased by 39% and three people were murdered in antisemitic attacks in the U.S.

Behind every incident is a real person or community. A young couple shot outside a museum. An elderly woman killed at a peaceful walk. A rabbi stabbed on the street. A child that has to see a swastika on their preschool building. Worshippers being harassed outside their synagogue.

This is unacceptable. That’s why ADL is monitoring threats, litigating in courtrooms, educating in classrooms, advocating in the halls of Congress and standing with every Jewish community under attack.

An update from our CEO, @JGreenblattADL. He is right--this is all too familiar--but you never get used to it. We stand with our brothers and sisters in West Bloomfield.

[Jonathan Greenblatt @JGreenblattADL]

Seeing the images and reports from Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, MI and hearing that, once again, Jewish spaces are on lockdown and high alert is all too familiar. And yet you never get used to it.

My heart is with the entire Temple Israel community — those who were inside Temple Israel; those waiting desperately for word about their children and other loved ones; and all those watching this unfold with dread and sorrow. This is a shul that I have visited. I have colleagues and friends who belong to the synagogue. They should not have to live in fear. No community should have to live in fear.

And yet, here we are, again.

@ADL is monitoring the situation closely. Our local staff is on the ground and in touch with law enforcement and the Jewish community in the Detroit area. We are grateful that no one in the synagogue was killed and we pray for the swift recovery of the security officer who was injured in the attack.

Beyond Detroit, our teams are coordinating with other Jewish communities across the country who are on high alert. Analysts with our Center on Extremism are attempting to understand whether there are any extremist links associated with this attack and are monitoring how this incident is being framed online in social media and beyond. We will share more information as we obtain it.

But this did not happen in isolation. In recent months, we have seen a series of attacks of synagogues - Wilshire Blvd Temple (Los Angeles, CA), Congregation Beth Israel (Jackson, MS), Temple Emanu-El (Toronto, Canada), Beth Avraham Yoseph (Toronto, Canada), and Shaarei Shomayim Congregation (Toronto, Canada). These were all real-world acts of violence. Now we add Temple Israel to a list that should not exist.

Antisemitism has surged in recent years. Jewish institutions have been vandalized and violated again and again. Synagogues are not targets; they are houses of prayer, community and refuge. Enough. This has to stop.

We stand with our brothers and sisters in West Bloomfield. We stand with Jewish communities across Michigan and around the world. We stand with all people of good faith who refuse to accept a world where communities live in fear.
