Elder of Ziyon
On Saturday night, during the University of Kentucky Chabad's candle lighting ceremony for the third night of Chanukah, a man in a car started shouting antisemitic abuse, grabbed the arm of a participant in the ceremony who tried to intervene, dragged him down the block while driving and ran over his leg before speeding off.
The response from the community to these attacks has been appropriate outrage, with meetings and showings of support for Chabad and the Jewish community, and the governor tweeting his condemnations.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
As shocking as this is, it appears that the UK Chabad is attacked by antisemites all the time.
Only last month, the sign at the Chabad and its menorah were damaged - and the Chabad's director says that this was the fourth such attack in five years.
Rabbi Shlomo Litvin says that he gets verbally attacked weekly.
In August, an antisemitic flyer was distributed throughout campus, saying "Jews will not replace us."
It hasn't slowed down the hate.
