Despite the decrease, this year's figure is still the second highest since records began and nearly twice the 2022-2023 – or pre-October 7 – figure of 1,510.
Board of Deputies Vice President Andrew Gilbert has said: “These figures released today just show what every British Jew already knows - antisemitic hate crimes in the UK remain at a historic high following Hamas' terrorist onslaught on 7 October 2023.
"Nobody who saw the deeply offensive and insensitive protests on the second anniversary of the massacre could doubt it.
"We applaud the crucial work of the Community Security Trust (CST) and other communal partners in keeping us safe.
"Following the murderous terror attack in Manchester, it is now clearer than ever that the government must act to ensure the law is enforced on antisemitic hate speech, that legislation is strengthened where necessary, and that antisemitism is tackled in wider society.”
