New York Mayor Eric Adams signed an executive order Sunday evening recognizing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism and directing city agencies to use the definition to target hate crimes against Jewish people.

Adams announced the directive during an appearance at Tribeca Synagogue in Manhattan following an uptick in antisemitic attacks in New York City and across the country.
