Upper East Side antisemitism town hall zeroes in on anti-Israel sentiment, hate crimes, and universities

By Shea Vance Posted on July 30, 2025

Assembly Member Rebecca Seawright (D-Manhattan) hosted a town hall Tuesday evening at the Upper East Side’s Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, gathering rabbis, Jewish advocates, and educators to speak on a panel about antisemitism.

The panel focused on the rise in antisemitic incidents in New York City and across the United States since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. Panelists discussed a rise in anti-Israel sentiment and emphasized the need for security, education, and strict policy enforcement on college campuses to effectively combat antisemitism.
