Anti-Semitism
Drops In U.S.
New York/JTA — The number of anti-
Semitic incidents declined in the United
States in 2001. There were 1,432 inci-
dents in 40 states and the District of
Columbia, reflecting an 11 percent
decline from 2000, according to a
report by the Anti-Defamation League.
The group said the decline is partly due
to tighter security at Jewish sites. New
York and California both saw significant
drops in the number of incidents, and

In Nation's Capitol

our lives in ways no one could have
imagined months ago," the U.S.

a ceremony at the Capitol Rotunda in

see daily images of carnage, and from
Europe come images of synagogues and
Torah scrolls burned." Rice joined
