ADL Horrified Over Vicious Stabbing Of Orthodox Jewish Man in Rockland County

New York, NY, November 20, 2019…The ADL (Anti-Defamation League) announced today that it is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for the vicious stabbing and assault of an Orthodox Jewish man in Monsey, New York early Wednesday morning. According to media reports, the victim stated that two individuals got out of a car, stabbed him multiple times, got back in their vehicle and fled the scene.

“We are outraged by this terribly violent incident,” said Evan R. Bernstein, ADL NY/NJ Regional Director. “This is truly horrifying. A peaceful walk to shul in the early morning hours is how this man started the day and now he in serious condition in a hospital because of this attack. There is absolutely no room in our communities for violence. We must come together and stand shoulder to shoulder, not only to condemn this despicable act, but also work as a community to stem the tide of hatred and violence. We wish for the speedy and full recovery of the victim and hope this reward facilitates the swift apprehension of those responsible for this attack.”
