Another day. More hate.
The latest two hate crimes occurred on Monday, the first day of Rosh Hashanah in Williamsburg.
In the first crime, as can be seen in the attached video footage, a group of thugs are seen smashing a window of the Rivnitz Shul on Throop Avenue and Barlett Street.
The suspects run up the street, while one of them appears to be on the lookout for anyone coming, while another two suspects are seen throwing objects at the windows of the Shul.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident. They are being assisted by Williamsburg Shomrim.
In the second hate attack, a Hasidic woman had her Shaitel yanked off by a person.
Watch the attached video where a women pushing a baby carriage is followed by the suspect, who then pulls off her wig and runs away. The woman is seen placing her hands over her head to cover herself, as she is humiliated in public. He is seen hiding behind a parked vehicle.
But not to worry, Orthodox Jews can breath easily, as Mayor DeBlasio is threatening to take action. DeBlasio wrote on Twitter “This is a shocking act of hate. We WILL find the perpetrators and hold them responsible. If you have any information, share it with the NYPD.”
Orthodox Jews in New York City have lots of faith in the Mayor. Afterall, he can most definitely list the suspects and the jail sentences handed down following the last 100 hate crimes. Right?
Not.
Meanwhile, if you use the word “illegal alien”, you can now be fined as much as $250,000. Call someone a “dirty Jew”, and get a free pass.

Officers are protecting religious institutions during High Holy Days, and we’ll keep our Jewish community safe.https://t.co/2dYtAhzJmX https://t.co/hywdFdiOui

Synagogue attacked, windows broken.
This is not from Kristallnacht in 1938.

A despicable act of hate during the High Holy Days. This type of anti-Semitic violence has no place in New York.
Contact @NYPD90Pct if you have any information to help lead to an arrest. https://t.co/H8zQ0VWpbG

Lost faith? We never had faith. The askonim should apologize publicly at the next siyum Hashas.
It’s clear that Williamsburg cannot depend on the NYPD. Shomrim is wonderful, but, they, certainly, cannot stop these hate crimes against Jews. The only way to is for Williamsburg to hire round-the-clock security as Crown Heights did years ago and should do again. The community should request financial help from the major Jewish organizations, and the request for help should be published at every Jewish news site in the United States and Israel. Don’t wait. It’s not going to get better.
YWN, PLEASE THINK BEFORE YOU PUBLISH. Yes, all these crimes are indeed abhorrent. However, please think about the poor humiliated woman who suffered the embarrassment of her shaitel pulled off. Thanks to YWN even more people saw her suffering! Kindly think about her and please remove that video and let her stay out of the media view.
The negroes in these videos who are attacking innocent Jews and their places of worship are obviously Trump supporters. If you look closely you can see they’re wearing MAGA hats. We must elect Ms. Warren and end all senseless violence in this Country once and for all.
I fully agree with the writer of the above article. DeBlasio has proven time and again, he couldn’t care less about violence against Frum Jews. It just doesn’t fit the narrative created by the msm.
Who stood and took this video? Looks like someone who saw/knew something was about to happen.
“Lost Faith”?
Are you serious? ANTI SEMETISIM STARTS AND STOPS WITH CHUCK SCHUMER, NADLER AND THE REST OF THE JEWS FILIBUSTERING THE BILLS AGANIST JEWS IN GOVERNMENT AND TURN IT TO ANTI ANY THING ELSE THAN ANTI SEMETISIM.
There is no anti semetisim in U.S. because if it was the “RABBANIM” WOULD THROW A FIT AND DAMEND ACTION. SO EITHER THE VICTIMS ARE PRETENDING OR BABBANIM’S TOUNGS HAVE BEEN CUT OFF DUE TO OTHER CONSIDERATIONS LIKE PHOTO OP. OR SECTION 8 OR ….
MAY HAKADOSH BARUCH HU PROTECT US FROM CORRUPT LEADERSHIP.
Seriously, your sarcastic joke of reporting is reprehensible. As much as maybe I would agree that deblasio is not the best mayor of NY, the horrendous “reporting” is SHOCKING
dont worry these people will still vote for deblasio
obviously, they are surveillance cameras rolling film all the time, not someone who saw something suspicious.
Meanwhile, if you use the word “illegal alien”, you can now be fined as much as $250,000. Call someone a “dirty Jew”, and get a free pass.
This is not true. The first amendment still applies in NY, and you are free to call anyone an illegal alien, or a dirty Jew, or anything else you like, so long as you don’t do it as a form of discrimination in the context of employment, housing, or public accommodations. In other words you cannot call your employees, tenants, or customers dirty Jews, or dagoes, spics, or whatever other nasty names people use for particular groups, in order to harass them or extort them, or to encourage them to go find a different job, apartment, or store. Now they’ve said they’re going to treat “illegal alien” the same way they ALREADY treat all those other terms.
A few points
For Yeager to mention kristalnacht to a single busted window is out of context
Blazio shud not get blamed for these crimes he has made mistakes but u can’t just bill him for everythng
LOOKS LIKE ywn DID NOT LIKE MY PREVIOUS POST
Why aren’t people defending themselves??
Have any black community leaders come out and comment on these acts of anti-Semitism?
Were in Galus and we have to do Teshuvah
Nothing changed with the world since the holocaust. Hashem is calling for us to change.
WHY NOT TAKE A PAGE OF OTHER GROUPS AND ORGANiZE A MARCH IN THE STREET DEMANDING THE GOVERNMENT DO MUCH MORE TO MAKE SURE THIS STOPS! INVITE POLITICAL LEADERS AS WELL (Poshut?)
Please do not add to the poor victim’s embarrassment by publishing a video of her tzniyus being compromised in public. I know we cannot see her close up, but if she looks at it herself, knowing it is her, I’m sure she finds it upsetting. So YWN, please do a chesed and remove that particular video. Thank you. Gmar Chasima Tova.
Just an FYI for all frum women- based on this episode,keep an extra snood/hair covering in your pocketbook at all times. Hopefully, you will never need to use it.
