In response to rising antisemitism, Mayor Eric Adams has taken significant action by signing an executive order to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism in New York City. This is particularly pertinent given that antisemitic crimes account for half of the hate crimes in a city where Jewish residents constitute 10% of the population. Adams emphasized the need for codification into law and stated that the new definition will empower the city to crack down on antisemitic acts, reflecting a resolute stance against such hate.
At a synagogue in Tribeca, Mayor Adams signed an executive order to combat antisemitism, implementing the definition set by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.
Given that the Jewish community makes up 10% of the city's population, yet half the hate crimes are antisemitic, Mayor Adams pushed the City Council to codify this definition into law.
