Good morning, it's Tuesday. Lag B'Omer,
parshas Behar Bechukosai.
My name is Gershon Schwartz and I'm here
with the news of the last 24 hours. On
Edge. Very unlikely news anchor to sing,
huh? All right.
On Edge. Your daily report of the news
of the last 24 hours, powered by Yiddish
24, provided to you by The Click.
And it's Hoid ShebeHoid.
May 5th, 2026. Let me sport them.
Another shooter was caught near the
White House yesterday. The US has just
launched Project Freedom. Like I said
yesterday, causing intense battles in
the Strait of Hormuz and intense battles
between Donald J. Trump and Hakeem
Jeffries on a separate case. Well,
between him and Jeffries, it's it's not
a war, it's an operation.
Good one, right? The UAE was caught in
the ceasefire causing an explosion at
the Fujairah oil industry zone and
scientists have successfully created a
full map of a healthy human liver. Stay
tuned for the rest of the breaking news
during the past 24 hours, only here on

spread the news as they say. I promised
my daughter a new camera for our family.
Now, might I say I didn't have the
patience to wait for Amazon and call and
look and screens and stuff. I
called Ring and Go. Okay? This is the
barcode right here below. You can scan
it. I also needed a few a new kosher
phone. So, I didn't have the time to
figure out patience to the service and
the text messaging and you know, Ring
and Go does it all. They have it all.
And if you mention On Edge, they will
give you a special gift with a purchase,
specially for the On Edge listeners.
Okay? So, Ring and Go, that is ring n
ring in like in go.us and it's
347-480-7455
or the barcode below. Okay, it
disappeared. All right, so let's
continue. That's a that's a cue. A
shooting incident happened near the
White House in
excuse me, in Washington D.C. after US
Secret Service agents confronted an
armed man. The event led to a brief
lockdown of the White House area where
Trump was giving a live speech.
According to reports, the Secret Service
said its officers spotted a suspicious
individual near the National Mall close
to the Washington Monument. The man
appeared to have a firearm. When agents
tried to approach him, he ran away.
During the chase, he pulled out his
weapon and fired out at the officers.
Now, Secret Service agents then returned
fire and shot the man. He was taken to
hospital, but his condition has not been
confirmed. A young bystander, a junior a
junior juvenile, was also injured during
the incident, obviously from the
crossfire. Officials believe the child
was likely hit by gunfire from the
suspect, but this is still being
investigated. The incident caused a
temporary lockdown of the White House as
a safety measure. Security forces
quickly secured the area and roads
nearby were closed while police
investigated the scene. No Secret
Service officers were injured,
obviously. The shooting happened shortly
after a motorcade carrying Vice
President J.D. Vance passed through the
area. Officials said there is currently
no clear evidence that the Vice
President or the White House was the
target of the attack. Deputy Director of
the Secret Service, Matthew Quinn, gave
details about the incident. He said
agents first noticed that what looked
like a gun on the suspect. He also
explained that what officers that when
officers moved in, the situation
escalated quickly and the suspect opened
fire.
Quinn said, "I'm not going to guess on
that whether or not it was directed to
the president or not. I don't know, but
we will find out." And he added that
investigators are still working to
understand the motive. In the meantime,
they're not going to wait to find out
the motive, they shot him. The incident
is now being investigated by local and
federal authorities including the
Metropolitan Police Department there in
Washington D.C. Officials are also
checking if the event is linked to any
recent security threats in Washington
like from Iran or something like that.
The event caused concerns because it
happened very close to one of the most
secure government buildings in the
United States. However, officials said
the situation was quickly controlled and
there is no continuing threat to the
White House as of now. All right, this
is the story for now. The United States
launched a full-scale military operation
yesterday to force open the Strait of
Hormuz. The operation is called Project
Freedom and it sent more than 100 land
and sea-based planes into the strait
along with guided missile destroyers,
naval drones and 15,000 troops. The
goal, break Iran's blockade and keep
commercial shipping moving. As you know,
the Strait of Hormuz is the strategic
waterway that carries roughly a third of
the world's oil there. It's so important
that Trump announced military support
for all neutral ships that want to pass
through. Unfortunately, Iran wants full
control over this waterway. It said that
it will decide which ships can pass. As
expected, the two countries fought.
Iranian forces fired cruise missiles at
American Navy ships and launched drones
at commercial vessels.
Now, the US
United States forces sank at least six
Iranian fast boats and shot down every
missile and drone that came their way.
While doing this, they escorted
commercial ships through safe paths.
This incident a Maersk this a vessel
sorry, this included excuse me, a
a a Maersk. Who cares how I pronounce
it? A vessel, which is the first
confirmed ship that safely passed under
US military protection. However, Iran's
Revolutionary Guard, the IRGC, claimed
that it hit a US warship yesterday and
it's forced to flee forced it to flee.
The US tells the story differently.
According to CENTCOM Commander Admiral
Brad Cooper, none of that none of the US
ships were even hit. So, it's fake news.
The United Arab Emirates, the UAE,
wasn't so lucky though. Iran also struck
them with 12 ballistic missiles
yesterday, three cruise missiles and
four drones. President Trump confirmed
at least one Iranian missiles broke
through the UAE air defenses and caused
damage on the ground. Trump, however,
declined to call the missiles strikes a
ceasefire violation. He said that the
Iranian fire was, in his words, not
heavy firing, but American officials
said that the US is now moving closer to
resuming large-scale military operations
against Iran because of this. Any final
decision rests, obviously, with the
President of the United States, Mr.
Donald J. Trump.
After 2 months of war with Iran,
>> [snorts]
>> its nuclear timeline was barely moved.
Before the war started, US intelligence
estimated Iran was about a year away
from building a full-scale nuclear
weapon. Today, nothing has changed. That
estimate is still about a year away.
Intelligence officials say that Iran's
nuclear program only suffered limited
damage. This is why air strikes alone
may not be enough. Analysts say that the
real target would need to be Iran's
stockpile of highly enriched uranium,
which is buried right now under the
rubble or taken away somewhere. This is
the material already processed to
weapons grade and it's dangerous. Trump
acknowledged the problem directly. He
explained that they want the uranium
that they that were that were buried
after the attacks, but he added, "People
don't even know if you can get
to it, basically." Two people from the
Trump's team, Steve Witkoff and Jared
Kushner, are still sharing draft deals
with Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas
Aragchi. The talks are moving slowly.
Officials say messages are being carried
by hand to secret secret places. This is
partly because they were not sure where
Iran's top leader is or they aren't sure
they don't know where he is. Who knows
where he is? He's crippled or somewhere.
I don't know where. Other officials do
not foresee positive results from the
talks. One said clearly, "Either a real
deal is closed or Trump may may attack
Iran again." Senator Lindsey Graham also
insisted that Iran broke the ceasefire.
He called for a strong, costly, but
short attack. Trump echoed this
statement when he told Fox News that
Iran must make a fair deal or fighting
could start again. The United States is
putting a tremendous amount of pressure
on Iran right now as you can see by
commissioning this blockade. You have to
understand something I heard from Sean
Hannity on Fox News when he interviewed
former General Kellogg. Now, he asked
him the following questions. What
essentially is the goal of this war? The
United States right now with the
blockade, the goal is to pressure Iran
into, obviously, crippling their economy
just like their basically their leader
is, if you think about it. But the point
is that they're losing $500 million a
day already. Now,
he also suggested that if the if the
Americans if the United States also
takes Kharg Island, essentially by not
bombing it, he said, by taking over
Kharg Island, then they could also have
major leverage because that will mean
they're basically choking the heartbeat
of Iran's export and import of oil. And
this is another step ahead. Another
thing they discussed, and this is I
heard from President Trump himself and
obviously on this interview between Sean
Hannity and General Kellogg, what you
have to understand is that excuse me,
Trump said that Iran right now is in a
no negotiating um
they have no negotiating powers anymore
and they know it and they're admitting
to it. But what the problem is they're
too proud to admit it and here is the
problem. The IRGC is the problem. The
IRGC is the terrorist organization. It's
essentially the external it's the
threat. It's what is what's keeping this
thing going. The Basij is the locals.
They keep the population in control.
That's what the Basij is. It's a
different military um faction. Now, if
the Americans support essentially them
and they give them
money and everything they need with
weapons and everything they can to be
able to control themselves, they can
essentially be the ones uprising against
the IRGC, which is also an internal plan
which is on the table. Another thing is
you have to understand the protesters
out there in Iran have no way to fight
when it comes to protesting because the
IRGC is loaded with guns and ammunition
and they're killing them. They're
killing them. So, if they would have
guns and anything,
Trump says they should have guns and
they'll be able to maybe fight
themselves. Now, here is another thing.
The IRGC is not interested in making a
deal. They can't trust them. They're
essentially I mean they're terrorists.
You don't negotiate with terrorists. So,
this is the issue with the United States
is dealing with right now and that is
why the blockade is happening and that
is why the also potential of taking
Kharg Island, which is a suggestion,
obviously, might be a very very um
well-thought-out strategy which is going
to bring Iran to its knees. And of
course, not you know,
not not taking away the fact that the
actual people on the ground need to be
the ones overthrowing their government,
their regime. The United States is
putting pressure on China as well ahead
of a major summit between President
Donald J. Trump and the Chinese leader
Xi Jinping. Treasury Secretary Scott
Bessent is pointing the finger at
Beijing saying China funds roughly 90%
of Iran's energy sector effectively
keeping Iran's economy alive while the
Middle East remains on edge. Bessent is
now demanding China use that leverage to
help end end the
end the conflict. The summit
expected on May 14th and 15th has not
been without drama. There were earlier
signs Trump might delay the trip
entirely, but American military cargo
planes have now been spotted on at
Beijing's main airport suggesting the
visit is moving forward. They're
preparing obviously because they can't
trust China's security. Still the mood
heading into these talks is anything but
warm and the US wants China to stop
buying Iranian energy and China for its
part is pushing back pressing its own
demands over Taiwan. Both sides are
arriving at the table with a list of
grievances and obviously a lot is at
stake as you can imagine. Mike Waltz,
the United States Ambassador to the
United Nations, asked the UN Security
Council to punish Iran for putting sea
mines and controlling parts of the
Strait of Hormuz. Thankfully, removing
the mines is not going to be a one-man
effort for the US. Germany and some
Scandinavian countries may soon send
help as well.
And as well, the UAE just informed he
spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and he said that Iran must be
punished for what it's doing. Iran must
be punished and he thinks the US
administration is being too light with
them, too easy with them. You can't
trust them. The US Secretary of War Pete
Buttigieg and Joint Chiefs Chairman
General Dan Cain held a press press
conference
this morning about Operation Epic Fury
or now Operation Project Freedom. This
is a large joint military operation led
by the United States and Israel against
Iran launched on February 28th. As you
can imagine, if you don't if you're not
aware, if you're living under a rock,
this is what's going on. Since Shavuot
there's been a major war broke out and
Shavuot which when which is when they
announced the ceasefire. It aimed to
destroy Iran's missile system and of
course
nuclear nuclear and naval forces and air
defenses. As of today more than 10,000
targets have been hit. Now America's
latest strategy involves helping ships
travel safely through the Strait of
Hormuz. Buttigieg said that the mission
will only be temporary because he wants
other countries to help protect the
ships soon. Sure, there are still small
attacks during the US Iran ceasefire,
but he says these are not big enough to
start a new conflict. He explained the
ceasefire is currently holding and we
are closely monitoring the situation.
However, Iran claims that the US is not
following the ceasefire because of this
the situation is still tense and could
become dangerous again. Buttigieg still
assured the public that the US strategy
toward Iran is highly focused and
precise. If Iran chooses to attack the
US, they would know America's imminent
and overwhelming power.
The USS Tripoli, a large warship used by
the United States Navy, is currently
operating directly at the doorstep of
Iran. Now in the Arabian Sea, it carries
helicopters, fighter jets, and troops.
It also helps soldiers move from the sea
to land during military military
missions. This is also one of the things
before the US mostly used planes and
missiles. With the USS Tripoli, you can
also do ground operations and respond
faster. This makes the conflict more
serious and shows stronger military
power.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation
arrested a Pennsylvanian Senate
candidate for a possible assassination
threat toward Trump.
His name is Raymond Chandler III, a
Democrat running against Senator John
Fetterman. Investigators say he left
voicemails that encouraged violence. He
now faces federal charges and was taken
into custody last Friday. In another
case, a federal judge apologized
apologized in court to a man accused of
plotting to kill Donald J. Trump. Judge
Zia Faruqui
learned about sorry about that didn't
pronounce his name right because it's a
very difficult name to pronounce.
Faruqui. Okay, Faruqui. Zia Faruqui
learned about how the suspect was
treated badly in jail. So he told him,
"I'm sorry."
Nine people were arrested outside
Wyckoff Heights Medical Center.
Wyckoff, sorry. Wyckoff Heights Medical
Center, excuse me. Spelled with a Y so W
Y C.
And this is in Brooklyn. During a
protest against the US Immigration and
Customs Enforcement Agency nice agents.
Sorry.
ICE agents. If they called it nice it'd
be funny. The protest worsened because
nice officers went to I'm already I'm
going to I decided I'm calling them
nice.
Nice as national in
The protest worsened because nice
officers went to arrest a man who was in
hospital. He already had existing
assault and drug charges, but it seemed
the public did not know this. When
people heard about it, a large crowd
gathered. They blocked roads and
hospitals entrances and during the
arrest the suspects a suspect tried to
hit officers with his car and fought
back. Outside the situation got even
worse. Protesters damaged ICE vehicles
and refused to leave. Police then moved
in and arrested nine people.
President Donald J. Trump has suggested
that House Minority Leader Hakeem
Jeffries could be impeached. He
announced this possibly on Truth Social
where he said, "Quote, Hakeem Jeffries,
a low IQ individual, said our Supreme
Court is illegitimate. After saying such
a thing,
isn't he subject to impeachment? I got
impeached for a perfect phone call."
Jeffries is the top Democrat in the US
House of Representatives. Trump
commented The comments comes comes after
Jeffries publicly criticized him and
other Republicans in Congress obviously.
No formal impeachment process has
obviously been started.
Let's talk about Israel. Benjamin
Netanyahu Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu corruption trials resumed in
court today. His lawyers asked the
judges to cancel the day's testimony
saying that he had urgent security
meetings in Jerusalem that could be that
could not be moved. However, the judges
refused to cancel the hearing
completely.
They did agree to shorten it instead of
a full day the session will run from
1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. which already
happened. Tens and thousands of Yidden
made their way up to Meron for Lag
BaOmer despite the full government ban.
The annual Lag BaOmer this year due to
security concerns. They say the threat
of Hezbollah attacks and dangerous winds
wind conditions that could spread fires
across the area. Security authorities
declared the Hilula legally prohibited.
Three official Hilulas the Vienna
Rebbe's Hilula for the Chassidus of
Rabbi Moshe Amar for the
Sephardic and the Mizrahi circles were
all called off. But Yidden being who
they are, thousands came anyway. They
climbed through fences and forests and
fields, bypassed blockades, squeezed
through partially open pedestrian
entrances a Strait of Hormuz sort of for
them. Drinking police set up heavy
patrols, turned hundreds away, and
warned that staying in the area without
a permit is dangerous. Videos spread of
Yidden diving in Menachem surrounding
fields unable to get through. Several
who slipped past checkpoints were found
and and escorted out. At least one
person was detained and Hatzolah had to
treat them evacuate eight people in all
in light condition with weaknesses,
fainting, and minor injuries.
National Security Minister Itamar
Ben-Gvir came out and said he's done a
full security review at Meron Monday
evening before this before he made this
decision. He came to a conclusion with a
plain message saying going to the cave
of this year could be pikuach nefesh, a
real danger to life and he urged
everyone to stay home. Still crowds, you
know, arrived. Police moved pushed them
back. Ben-Gvir said that the police
handled it in his words very gently. You
can imagine what gently means. Some of
the crowds there obviously responded by
shouting Nazi at the officers. Gedolei
Yisrael had also called on the Yidden to
stay home. And Rabbi Moshe Amar,
the former Sephardic Chief Rabbi of
Eretz Yisrael, said on on Radio Kol Chai
very clearly, "Even if there is only a
safek, even a possibility of danger,
that alone is enough is a reason enough
not to go." In his words,
obviously he added the halacha when
there's a question of pikuach nefesh you
stay home. Harav Yitzchak Zilberstein
offered chizuk for those who couldn't
make the trip. He said, "And these are
his words, even if we cannot go to
Rashbi to Rebbe Shimon bar Yochai, Rebbe
Shimon bar Yochai can come to us."
And obviously there was opposites who
did call and cursed out the entire
situation and said that Yidden should go
to Meron and should fight the police.
So there's a conflict of interests in
both areas. The point is like this and
today carries another weight in this
which is why I'm ending obviously
conflicts and stuff into into a world of
love because we have to remember at the
end of the day the tragedy that happened
along
well, alongside the joy of the day of
Lag BaOmer there's also a sadness in a
lot of people's hearts today especially
those families of the 45 Kedoshim
the 45 Kedoshim that passed away on the
night of Lag BaOmer in 2021. A terrible
tragedy struck Har Meron. A crowd crush
in a narrow passageway that turned into
a stampede. 45 people Yidden highly
Yidden were killed all Kedoshim. Around
150 more were injured terribly and we do
not forget them. We remember every
single one of the 45 Kedoshim today on
this day of Lag BaOmer.
May they all be a
blessing and may they all be a merit for
all of us. And we have to remember to
keep the achdus Klal Yisrael enough with
all that conflict and fights knega
kneged. On Sunday evening a group of
Rabbanim gathered in Eretz Yisrael to
speak out against certain military
enlistment programs aimed at Yeshiva
Bochurim. Obviously, as you can imagine
the group included Roshei Yeshiva and
members of the Eitz Gdol Torah. They
were brought together by Kehila leaders
from the south of Eretz Yisrael. They
spoke out against programs such as Kot
Kot, a military intelligence track, and
Malot Tzur, a technical training
program. The Rabbanim said that these
programs pull Bochurim away from
full-time learning Torah in Yeshiva and
push them across the red lines that
Chassidish Yeshiva students are expected
to hold firm on.
Two Israeli soldiers were moderately
wounded this morning in a clash with
Hezbollah along the Litani River in
southern Lebanon. After the fighting
Hezbollah released a map showing the
route of the Israeli forces north of the
Litani River. In the same area Israeli
troops destroyed a 30-meter Hezbollah
tunnel and a large weapons room
containing about three tons of
explosives along with bombs and
anti-tank missiles. Separately
one of the divisions struck about 15
Hezbollah targets across southern
Lebanon including sites in Kafara, in
Zafaria, in Nabatieh, and Al-Faluqah and
all the other names that I cannot
pronounce and I won't pronounce right
now. If I have broke out at the UAE
Fujairah
Fujairah oil industry zone after Iran
sent drones to attack it. Three Indians
nationals were wounded and
there and two more people were injured
across the border in Oman. When the
attack happened, residents across the
UAE received emergency shelter alerts
and schools moved to remote learning
centers obviously. Both the UAE and
Qatar restricted their airspace with
formal warnings. Now they're saying the
Iranians they didn't mean to target
them, it was just warning shots
according to a few sources. A military
source at the same breath they're also
threatening the UAE with severe severe
reactions which they haven't done
supposedly, right? Another report came
out and the reporter asked Hexat today
if the Iranians are using something
called a kamikaze a kamikaze dolphin. A
dolphin, a shark, sorry, a type of a
made up kind of a artificial made up
fish that is has laser beams and
destroys and does like a like a kamikaze
drone.
A military source said that any
irrational action from the UAE would
make it a direct target. They also told
Abu Dhabi not to become quote pawns of
Israel.
UAE officials called it the first
significant attack since the ceasefire.
Turkey is preparing to send a new
flotilla towards Gaza. Israeli officials
are trying to stop
to stop it through through diplomatic
talks obviously before it leaves. This
effort comes after 2010 Mavi Marmara
incident where Israeli forces boarded a
Turkish ship and heading to Gaza and
nine activists were killed leading to a
major breakdown in Israeli-Turkey
relations obviously. Now Israel's
quietly in contact with Ankara asking
Turkey to cancel this plan obviously.
In Paris, France, hundreds of Jewish
doctors gathered for a major immigration
fair. All of them are seriously
exploring a move to Israel. It's
important to note that these are not
students. These are established medical
professionals with careers and
practices. But they are now actively
planning to leave. France is home to
roughly 4,450,000
Jews. Thousands have already been making
aliyah each every year due to
anti-Semitism that has been on the rise
there. And Israel has set a goal of
bringing 2,000 new physicians to the
country over 5 years and they're
expected to strengthen Israel's medical
workforce particularly in the southern
and northern regions obviously. Prime
Minister Keir Starmer is hosting a
special summit at Downing Street
specifically to address the rise of
anti-Semitism in the country. As you all
know the terrible tragedy shook up our
communities in Golders Green and all of
London.
Since the stabbing attack that happened
in Golders Green and also the burning of
the ambulances and other things that
happened by these terrorist individuals.
Now now one of our listeners called in
about a Belzer Buker that was also
attacked from Yeshiva.
So
I know you understand that there's the
gravity of this situation, you know,
makes you be aware and be more afraid
and as one of the my callers told me
that, you know, don't make it so as bad
as it is because it's not so bad.
Everything is great in London.
He's right and everyone is right to feel
the way they feel but at the same time
we
don't be ignorant but at the same time
don't be ignorant to the fact that
you're a Jew and be proud to be Jewish.
Don't be afraid. Be proud to be Jewish.
They don't come after the proud ones.
They come after the scared ones.
That's what you know it
the famous thing is with a dog, you
know, the dog runs after only those who
run away from it.
Don't run away.
I mean obviously don't put yourself in
danger. Don't be stupid. But yeah, learn
and be safe, okay?
What can I say?
All right and I heard another thing that
by the way Jewish schools and synagogues
across the UK have also begun hiring
former military soldiers.
They will replace regular security
guards and community volunteers who have
no actual combat training. So at least
from ex-military experts they might have
something.
On Monday in Leipzig
in Germany a car drove into a crowd of
people in busy shopping street called
Grimmaische Straße. Police and several
people said several people injured and
at least two people died. Emergency
services arrived quickly and closed the
area. The driver was arrested and police
are still investigating what happened
and why.

Mention my name and get yourself a good
deal. Russia and Ukraine have both
announced a ceasefire this week but they
do not match each other. Vladimir Putin
said Russia will stop fighting around
May 9th Victory Day and the holiday
marking the Soviet victory over Nazi
Germany. Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a
separate ceasefire starting 2 days
earlier on his own terms. Neither side
has agreed to other to the other's plan.
Ukrainian officials say Russia's
ceasefire is meant to protect Moscow
from Ukrainian drone attacks during the
holiday parade. Russia has not responded
to this claim. Just before the ceasefire
window was due to begin Ukraine drones
hit a luxury apartment building in
Moscow during a large drone attack.
Russia warned that if the ceasefire is
broken it could respond with major
strikes on Kyiv. Russia also launched
drone attacks on Ukrainian Black Sea
ports damaging infrastructure used for
grain and cargo exports. These ports are
very important for Ukraine's economy and
food exports. In Tuapse residents say
black toxic rain has fallen under the
Ukrainian drones strikes that hit oil
facilities. People say fires released
polluted smoke and rainwater was turned
into black. Locals describe serious
environmental damage while the Kremlin
hasn't even commented about it yet.
Ukraine also reported a military first.
Zelenskyy said Ukrainian forces captured
the an area using only drones and ground
robots without sending in soldiers. We
spoke about this a couple of days ago or
weeks ago. Ukraine's ambassador to
Israel
Yevgen Korniychuk said that Ukraine is
starting criminal cases against traders
and companies. Remember these two ships
that arrived to the Haifa port and they
accused Israel of taking it from them?
Basically they are
starting criminal cases against traders
and companies accused of helping Russia
avoid sanctions.
He said the goal is is prosecutions not
even warnings.
Though is no Israeli companies were
named obviously.
A new danger is starting in another
area. Pirates from Somalia
are now officially working together with
the Houthis in Yemen. They are attacking
business ships and oil ships in the Red
Sea. The Houthis have been attacking
ships in the Red Sea for more than a
year now though piracy of Somalia wasn't
even active and was mostly stopped after
the early 2000s but it obviously now is
on its way back. Coming back. Together
these groups are putting at risk every
large very large amount of oil that is
that moves by sea in that region and
it's affecting the economy they say. In
Buenos Aires two Jewish institutions
were attacked with homemade petrol bombs
in the same week. Fortunately no
injuries or deaths have been confirmed
but Jewish groups in Argentina are now
calling a full investigation. The city
is now one of the largest Jewish
communities in the world outside of
Israel.
A 47-year-old Jewish man was shot and
killed on Thursday while walking in
in Wendaly Park in North York area of
Toronto. His name was Daniel Stepnitsky.
His He was shot and killed. Police
identified now the shooter is
67-year-old former Toronto police
officer who was charged with murder on
Sunday. Investigators are now looking
into whether the killing was
anti-semitically motivated. His funeral
took place Sunday departing from
Benjamin Park Memorial Chapel. He was
brought to burial at the Pardes Shalom
Cemetery which is in Toronto.
In Queens, New York, someone
spray-painted Heil Hitler and swastikas
on several shuls and schools and homes
overnight. One of the targeted locations
was Congregation Machne Chodosh in
Forest Hills where Yidden arriving for
davening Shacharis Monday morning
found hateful graffiti on the building.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force in the
is investigating and Mayor Eric Adams
came officially out condemning this
attack and confirmed the probe on the
