A Year After Attack: Almost 1 in 3 Jews Sometimes Hide Faith

In 2019, a significant share of Jews in America sometimes hide the visible markers of their Judaism.

Almost 1 in 3 American Jews has avoided displaying or wearing something — like a skullcap or a Star of David necklace — that would reveal their Judaism, according to a study by the American Jewish Committee released Wednesday that examines how Jews perceive anti-Semitism in the year since the massacre of 11 worshipers in a Pittsburgh synagogue.
