(Jewish Group) What should you do if you witness antisemitic harassment?

Ava Schumm was on a crowded subway in Manhattan when she heard a man making loud, derogatory comments about Jews.

His target: a bearded Orthodox Jew wearing a black hat and coat.

Schumm, 22, a Baruch College student, was penned in by the crowd on the other side of the train. “If I’d been closer, I would have said something,” she said. “I’m not shy.”

Instead, she took out her phone and started recording. Her video, posted Oct. 12 by Jews of NY, has been viewed nearly a million times on Instagram and TikTok, according to Jews of NY founder Yaov Davis.
