The relationship between the FBI and the Jewish community is primarily centered on addressing rising antisemitic hate crimes, with recent data showing record high incidents. There is also a history of cooperation and communication between the FBI and Jewish community organizations, though recent reports indicate a potential change in these relationships. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Antisemitic hate crime statistics • According to FBI hate crime reports, the American Jewish community consistently remains the most targeted religious group in the U.S..
• The FBI recorded a historic high of anti-Jewish hate crimes in 2024, with 1,938 incidents reported. This number has increased significantly since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
• In 2024, anti-Jewish hate crimes accounted for nearly 70% of all religiously motivated hate crimes, even though Jews make up only about 2% of the U.S. population.
• The FBI tracks this data and warns that antisemitism in the U.S. is reaching “historic levels”. [1, 5, 6, 7, 8]FBI cooperation with Jewish community organizations • The FBI has historically worked closely with Jewish organizations like the Secure Community Network (SCN) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to address threats and enhance security.
• Community outreach programs foster relationships through activities like the FBI Citizens Academy.
• This collaboration has been highlighted during times of crisis, with Jewish leaders expressing appreciation for the FBI’s efforts to keep their communities safe. [4, 9, 10, 11, 12]Recent reported developments • On October 1, 2025, Reuters reported that the FBI had cut ties with the ADL
.• The decision was announced by FBI Director Kash Patel following conservative criticism that the ADL was acting as a “political front”.
• The move came after the ADL included the organization Turning Point USA in a “Glossary of Extremism and Hate,” which led to online backlash.• In September 2025, a report from Brookline.News noted that the FBI ultimately declined to open a case using a controversial geofence warrant after a Jewish grocery store was vandalized. An agent cited “management” as the reason. [3, 13]
Jewish FBI employees • The FBI does not track the religious affiliation of its employees, so it is impossible to know how many Jewish people work at the bureau.
• A Jewish employee resource group, “BuJews,” was formed in 2023 and has grown to over 400 members, which include both Jewish and non-Jewish employees. [14, 15]AI responses may include mistakes.
