The report came after the mass shooting at the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting last October killing 11 people.
A total of 13 Jews were killed in three separate attacks over the year, according to the 2018 Global anti-Semitism Report released on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
In January 2018, a student was murdered in California, and in March, 85-year-old Holocaust survivor Mirielle Knoll was slaughtered in a brutal attack at her Paris home.
"This marks the highest number of Jews murdered in anti-Semitic attacks since the attacks on the Argentinian Jewish community in the 1990s," the report said.
For the second year in a row, the number of anti-Semitic incidents in Britain reached a record high, according to the report, citing British charity Community Security Trust which counted over 100 anti-Semitic episodes a month in 2018, a quarter of which occurred on social media, dwarfing incidents of so-called Islamophobia.
The report noted that after a two-year decline of anti-Semitic attacks in France, there was a 69 percent rise in 2018.
Contrary to previous years, anti-Semitic violence in 2018 was "led by neo-Nazis and white supremacists", the report said.
It defined 70 percent of attacks as "anti-Israel in nature," noting a spike when the US moved its embassy to Jerusalem in May and violence flared on the Gaza border.
Diaspora Minister Naftali Bennett said it was Israel's "responsibility to help the millions of our brothers and sisters in the Diaspora [Jews living outside of Israel] who are facing more and more anti-Semitic crimes".
He called on governments around the world to "take a harsh stance against the hatred of Jews."
The report noted that there is also "room for hope."
"More and more governments are declaring their commitment to fighting anti-Semitism, and appointing emissaries to that end," the report said. The UK's Jeremy Corbyn was not among those voices, nor were Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Keith Ellison, Louis Farrakhan, Barack Obama, Linda Sarsour, Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand and Andre Carson, to mention just a few Americans who oppose ending the BDS movement against Israel, which is covertly anti-Semitic, or who themselves are openly anti-Semitic.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Jerusalem on Sunday also released its annual report on the "Worldwide Investigation and Prosecution of Nazi War Criminals".
It said that between April 2017 and March 2018 one person was convicted for Nazi-era crimes, while three others were charged.

So when idiots use the term 'nazi' to verbally attack anyone with whom they disagree, they are disrespecting those who lived and died at the hands of real nazis, and are diluting the horror at which the scumbags operated.
I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
