Rising Fear Among Jews in Germany Sparks Urgent Concern

In today’s Germany, a troubling reality is settling in: many Jewish people no longer feel safe in public. The sense of security that once felt stable is rapidly eroding, replaced by fear, tension, and a growing sense of vulnerability.

Across cities and towns, Jewish institutions — synagogues, community centers, and schools — are now under heavy guard. Armed police patrol the perimeters. Security cameras monitor every entrance. For many Jewish families, attending religious services or community events means passing through metal detectors and police checkpoints.

“This cannot be normalized,” said one Berlin resident, echoing a sentiment that’s become increasingly common in Jewish communities throughout the country.

German leaders have condemned this resurgence of hate, pledging to combat antisemitism with stronger laws and increased security funding. But critics argue that protection alone isn’t enough — what’s needed is a cultural shift that reaffirms Jewish life as an integral, cherished part of German society.

As Germany grapples with this rising wave of antisemitism, one truth must be repeated: fear should never be a part of Jewish life in a democratic country. And silence must never be an option.
