"I call upon the U.S. authorities to put an end to the wave of anti-Semitic terrorist attacks that are being perpetrated against Jews in the United States. It’s time for Jews to be able to live their lives like any other citizen,” Yaakov Hagoel, vice chairman of the World Zionist Organization, said in a statement."

Man Shot Outside Of Miami Synagogue

"Police are investigating the possibility that the shooting was an antisemitic hate crime, though security sources close to the Jewish community informed The Jerusalem Post that initial reports indicate the shooting was not directly targeting the synagogue nor the Jewish victim, but may have stemmed from an earlier incident between the offenders and a third party.

Jewish Agency Chairman Isaac Herzog said he has been personally in touch with community leaders and believes it is a case of antisemitism."

If it was antisemitism, that's horrific. If some violent monsters just decided to shoot a random man because they're mad at someone else, that's horrific too, but in a different way. So sick of all this hate and mindless violence.

I *think* Yosef Noach ben Leah Tzivyah is the man's Hebrew name. It's a little confusing as "Noach ben" implies a Gentile, or maybe in this case a convert. You'd be known in your Synagogue by both names. I'm not sure so don't take that as fact since I'm a secular Jew and don't follow the religious practices.

Yosuf Warren Lipshutz is his common, "legal" name. My Hebrew name is also different from my legal name.

is the victim ok?

is the victim ok?

Looks like he's on the mend:

Rabbi Lehrfield says Lipshutz is out of the hospital and now in a rehabilitation center after several surgeries.

“He looks well,” says Rabbi Lehrfield. “He’s already walking. His attitude is wonderful. Baruch Hashem, which means thank the good lord, he is doing well.”
