Safety on Judaism's holiest day is a high priority for the NYPD.

As communities prepare to observe Yom Kippur, officers are increasing security in Jewish neighborhoods and at places of worship amid a rise in hate crimes.

The holiest day of the year on the Jewish calendar will begin at sundown Tuesday.

The NYPD met with leaders in the community, saying NYPD has promised them high coverage.

The security comes after a group of kids threw a milk crate through the window of Williamsburg synagogue during Rosh Hashanah prayers.

And statistics say there's been a 60% increase in anti-Semitic crimes this year over last year.

The use of a swastika in property crimes is up 68%.
