Wave of attacks on rabbis hits Europe

Posted by smoothstone

YnetNews reports that there has been a wave of anti-Semitism and attacks against rabbis in Eastern and western Europe. In just two weeks three rabbis in three different cities were attacked.

The first incident took place in Berlin, Germany, when 36-year-old Rabbi Yehuda Teichtel was driving eight of his students in a minivan. Two unknown persons in a Mercedes passed the van and blocked it from proceeding, crying insults of an anti-Semitic nature. The driver of the vehicle then threw a molotov cocktail at the van, but luckily it did not explode.

The second incident took place in Russia, when an anonymous man attacked the head rabbi of Vladivostok, Yisroel Silberstein, while the latter was walking through the center of town. The man struck the rabbi on the head, knocking him unconscious. When he regained consciousness he stumbled home and called rescue services. Doctors diagnosed him with a concussion, and the police launched an investigation.

The third incident took place a few days ago in the Czech Republic, when three skinheads attacked Rabbi Michael Yeruham, who has been living with his family in Prague for six years.
