Synagogue attack highlights rise in antisemitic violence

Season 2026 Episode 56 | 9m 46s

Investigators in suburban Detroit are searching for a motive behind Thursday's attack on a synagogue and school. The FBI called it “a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community," and it has touched off a wider conversation around antisemitism in the U.S. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Rabbi Steven Abraham of Beth El Synagogue in Omaha, Nebraska.
