The Jewish Daily Forward website reports today (October 5, 2011) that the number of anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. increased last year for the first time since 2004, according to the Anti-Defamation League's (ADL) annual audit.
The ADL Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents -- released yesterday -- showed that there were 1,239 incidents in 2010, up slightly from 1,211 reported the previous year.
The audit tracks assaults, vandalism, and harassment reported during the calendar year in 45 states and the District of Columbia.
The majority of incidents -- concentrated in the states with the largest Jewish populations -- took place in California (297), New York (205), and New Jersey (130).
