NJ’s Attorney General Meets Satmar Rebbe During Shiva Visit to Williamsburg
Williamsburg – New Jersey’s top law enforcement official met with the Satmar rebbe during a trip across the Hudson River Tuesday to pay a shiva visit to the family of a Jersey City attack victim.
Attorney General Gurbir Grewal assured the rebbe, Rav Zalman Leib, that the investigation into how the attack happened last Tuesday afternoon will be thorough, according to someone present at the visit.
“He told the rebbe,” the observer said, “that members of the Jewish community should not be afraid, should not be ashamed, to continue coming to live in New Jersey.”
The rebbe gave the law enforcement officials his blessing for the investigation’s success.
Prior to the meeting with the rebbe, Grewal held a meeting with leaders in the Satmar community in Williamsburg, to whom the two victims belonged.
“We greatly appreciate the hard work the attorney general is putting into this case, in conjunction with the U.S. Attorney’s office and the FBI,” said Rabbi Joel Friedman, a leader in the Satmar community and a law enforcement chaplain. “They are working on this tirelessly and professionally.”
The attorney general, who has been the principle provider of information as the attack progressed, was accompanied by members of the federal U.S. Attorney’s office in his state.
The group then went to the Deutsch home on Lorimer Street where he paid his respects to the family of Moshe Hersh Deutsch Hy”d, a 24-year-old bochur who was caught in the attack during a brief stay in Jersey City.
Also killed in the attack that has shaken the frum community were Mrs. Leah Mindel Ferencz Hy”d and grocery worker Douglas Rodriguez. Police Det. Joseph Seals was killed in an earlier skirmish.

Look at the kevod the satmar’s give to this shaygetz yet they spit and trash on Israel at every opportunity!!!! They are the true reason why moshiach isn’t here yet imo.
crocodile tears
could you please stop this nonsense let’s be mekaim v’ahuvtu laraiyachue kemoichue
So the Attorney General is actually
(1) Born in new Jersey
(2) not a Muslim
(3) is a Sikh-American
(4) here is some information regarding Gurbir Grewal – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurbir_Grewal
(5) some information regarding what Sikh is – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism_in_the_United_States
Whoever suggested that he’s a Moslem? Of course he’s a Sikh, which is probably the closest religion there is to Judaism; it’s certainly much closer than the religions that call themselves “conservative Judaism” and “reform Judaism”. Unfortunately he’s a bad Sikh. A good Sikh could not support disarming people, as he does.
@Motty; you need to learn correct pronunciation. Ve’Ahavta Le’reyecha Komocha
Second, neither Aron nor Zalli is my friend. I dont consider those who curse out the holy land
as friends. Kapisch?
Did they take any time to discuss the civil rights of people who wear stuff on their heads that’s not mainstream?
I like this attorney general-he reminds me of Nikki Haley-TOUGH
MILHOUSE: “closest religion there is to Judaism” ??? what does that mean? There is something close to Judaism!
maybe it needs to be rephrased. Can you define either religion, if so, please do, In the Gemara, it is mentioned dozens of times that the Tanoim met with the ROMANS! is this religion worse than the Romans!!!!!!!
Greps, maybe you need to get rid of some more gas, so your brain will work and you will be able to write comprehensible English. I have no idea what your issue is. I wrote that Sikhism is the religion that is closest to Judaism. Sikhs believe almost the same things that we do, and their practice includes more similarities to our mitzvos and minhagim than do the practices of most religions. Unfortunately this AG is a bad Sikh, because he supports disarming people, which goes very much against Sikh ideas. An anti-gun Sikh is a paradox.
