Amid a concerning rise in antisemitic incidents in the last few years, the Chabad center in my City of Hallandale Beach was victimized by a man who dumped a bag of human feces and hurled expletives targeting members of the Orthodox Jewish community.
In response I reached out to the media as this vile anti-Semite returned to the Chabad Center several times. Armed with video I called on the local media to cover this story. Ultimately due to the media coverage this man was apprehended by police and arrested.
Here is an excerpt and quote form the Newsweek article covering this story:
Hallandale Beach Commissioner Anabelle Lima-Taub, who was born in Israel, told WSVN she proposed the creation of a hate crime task force to help deal with incidents against marginalized groups.
"It seems that every time there is an uprising, or a situation globally or nationally, easily identifiable members of our religious community, specifically the Orthodox Jewish community, are a target," she said.
