I am absolutely stumped about what is causing it. Why the sudden increase?  Is it a reaction to increase hatred towards Israel? 
Is it due to the comments made by certain political and religious leaders?

Maybe it's just "business as usual" for the Jewish people, as sad as that is.

I think we go through waves where we see more and then less.

Well, now I must confess this doesn't seem to be "business as usual" as I see more and more antisemitism within the past couple of months.

Not sure why all of a sudden there are more attacks on Jews but we have to stay strong, stand up and fight hate, find ways to stay safe and continue to be a light unto nations.

I don't think this is surprising in the least. Any time there is a rise in nationalistic sentiment, Jews are seen as "other" and "foreign," and America is becoming more and more nationalistic. This isn't outside of what I figured would happen.

I like this approach. Hard to hate someone once you really get to know them.

YES!

That was set up by Allison Josephs of Jew in the City. It was all over the news here and seemed to work out very well.

Hope to keep the positive momentum going strong!

Wow, who knew a small event could have such an impact! I hope it does spread across the county...and the world.
