Of the instances of anti-Semitism in 2001, there were 877 cases of harassment (the same as in 2000) and 555 acts of vandalism—the lowest total in 20 years—(down 24% from 729 in 2002). Harassment and vandalism incidents represent 61% and 39% of the total incidents respectively. The predominance of harassment totals over those of vandalism continues an 11-year trend.
