Thank you, I only went to one bakery and then ended up whatsapping a synagogue to ask for advice and went to a kosher grocery store they suggested

I mean I also wear a Star of David necklace so the increase in risk is marginal bc I’m already visibly Jewish

Hon I mean this just out of concern… at least tuck it under your shirt. Even jewish law makes exceptions to everything in the name of preserving life, health, and safety. It doesn’t mean you’re ashamed of being Jewish if you take measures to keep yourself safe. This is what my very proudly Jewish parents from the USSR told me to do when the uptick in campus antisemitism was going on, because that was what they’d had to do as university students in Belarus to avoid violence.

It’s a really sad reality but please, please avoid outing yourself.

I agree the uptick is quite concerning but for me at least, I think it’s important to be visibly Jewish because i hope that would decrease antisemitism bc it means people realize Jews are not this group they’ve never met

I took it off when I went to Brunei (a country that uses sharia law and it seemed like it could be construed as against the law bc it may be seen as trying to convert people) but other than that I’ve worn it in several majority Muslim countries and haven’t had an issue

Ofc it only takes once but I’ve been okay so far and bc I’m not Israeli and a woman I think it means it’s less likely to be a violent attack
