On December 28, a masked man brandishing a machete stabbed five people celebrating the seventh night of Hanukkah at a rabbi's home in Monsey, outside New York City.
About two weeks earlier, a pair of shooters opened fire at a kosher deli in Jersey City, New Jersey, killing three individuals. They had also killed a police officer prior to the incident. New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said the attack was being investigated as domestic terrorism fueled by anti-Semitism.
