Yet Again: Group Of Suspected Muslim Youths In Germany Attack Rabbi


By BENJAMIN WEINTHAL, The Jerusalem Post – “BERLIN – A group of youths attacked a rabbi on Sunday evening in Offenbach, a city near Franfurt.

Six to eight ‘Mediterranean looking’ youths attacked the 39-year-old Rabbi Mendel Gurewitz. The youths pushed the rabbi and called him a ‘s****y Jew’.

The Orthodox rabbi filed a police complaint.

Police spokesman Rudi Neu, in southeast Hesse state where Offenbach is located, said a criminal complaint was filed and there was probable cause to investigate for an anti-Semitic hate crime, bodily injury and harassment.

After the initial verbal hostility, Gurewitz photographed the youths with his mobile phone, the police spokesman said. The youths ordered him to delete the photos.

The alleged attack took place in a shopping center passage. The authorities are reviewing video cameras from the shopping area for footage of the event.

Mark Dainow, the deputy director of the Jewish community in Offenbach, criticized the security personnel at the shopping location for failing to intervene to stop the aggressive activity of the youths.

Gurewitz was forced to flee the building and the youths pursued him. A friend of the rabbi drove by and rescued the rabbi by picking him up in his car.” Read more.
