A worrisome event has taken place in Rechovot on Shabbosim and Rosh Hashanah, in the area of where the Kretchnif chassidus is located. On recent Shabbosim, during tefilos and when there are tischen, basically when the chassidim are in the main beis medrash, a vehicle appears from an alleyway and frozen eggs are hurled from the vehicle at girls and women from the chassidus near the beis medrash.

Kikar Shabbos News quotes an eyewitness, who reported a grey Hyundai passed, moving at a high speed, and when it got close to the women and girls, eggs were thrown. “Being hit with a cold egg is a painful blow and the women were hysterical. I hope someone brings an end to this” the eyewitness is quoted adding.

Since the attacks occur during Shabbos, the Chassidim are unable to report the incidents to police in real time, making it more difficult to locate and apprehend the perpetrators.

This occurred a number of times during Rosh Hashanah, prompting a representative of the chassidus, Pinchas Humminer, to turn to police and filed a complaint, demanding immediate action.
