Teitelbaum also noted Florida ranked third, after New York and California, in the number of incidents broken down into two categories: vandalisms and assaults. The average increase nationwide last year of acts of anti-Jewish vandalism was 18.5 percent.
For Florida, the magnitude of the jump was 39 percent. While acts of anti-Semitic harrassment nationwide rose 41 percent from the previous year, such incidents in Florida experienced a 100- percent rise over the same period.
