I’m upset to hear that Rabbi Yisroel Lew of Chabad Bloomsbury has recently suffered an antisemitic attack in London.
Rabbi Lew is a magnificent man. He has been a good friend and a personal inspiration to me. It is so typical of his inspirational approach to life that, in discussing the attack with the JC, he ended on a note of hope.
Wishing him, his family, and all my Jewish friends, shana tova.
Nice to read they fought back and that someone came to their assistance – a good doing is the only language anti-semites understand.
I spoke to Rabbi Lew on Friday. The full story of the man who came to their assistance is very interesting. I’ll see if he wants to share it on here some time.
