Months after a sudden surge of anti-Semitic hate crimes in New York City, Jewish community leaders are still struggling to identify a clear cause for the jump.
Anti-Semitic crimes more than doubled from 36 to 80 incidents between the third and fourth quarters of 2018, and the number of incidents remained high through the first six months of 2019.
The motivations for the attacks remain murky, but Jewish community leaders do not accept Mayor Bill de Blasio's offered explanation — that right-wing ideology is the root cause.

Nice way of asking that question.
Thank you
