The Kentucky Jewish Council unveiled their annual Report on Antisemitism this week, noting what they describe as "skyrocketing rates of incidents" in 2023.
The report lists over 50 incidents that met the standard to be included in the document, an "unprecedented" rate for Kentucky. The group says the majority took place after the October 7th attacks on Israel by Hamas.
Jewish Council Chairman Rabbi Shlomo Litvin said the past year has "shown how easily hate can spread."
In 2021, Kentucky became the first state to adopt the International Holocaust Alliance's definition of Antisemitism. The new report was delivered to the legislature and governor and attorney general's office.
