Dani Dayan, Consul General of Israel in New York said, Sunday, “This past Friday, I met the new Police Commissioner Shea and we discussed thoroughly, together with the NYPD Chief of Department and Chief T. Galati, the last troubling antisemitic events in the city, prior to the most recent attacks."
Dayan continued, "Today, I am visiting the scene of last night’s stabbing attack to lend my support in any way I can. The horrific domestic terrorism attack that took place last night at Rabbi Chaim L. Rottenberg’s home in Monsey during a Hannukah celebration saddens me immensely. There have been more antisemitic attacks than candles lit as we approach the last night of Hannukah this year. We are desperate for more light as antisemitism continues to spread throughout our communities. We must unite in our fight against this toxic hate."
