A Muslim teen stabbed and severely wounded a member of the Orthodox Jewish community in Zurich, Switzerland, on Motzei Shabbos.
According to eyewitnesses, the attacker shouted “Death to Jews!” before stabbing the victim near a synagogue around 10:00 pm local time. Rescue forces arrived quickly and transported the injured person to the hospital, while the 15-year-old assailant was arrested by the police.
The Jewish community gathered to recite Tehillim for the victim on Motzei Shabbos for the recovery of the victim.
The name for Tehillim is Meir Tzvi ben Sarah.

@ 1a2b3c this is Switzerland, there prisons are in better conditions than most Motels in the US. This arab is 15 he gets probably 5 years jail time…. most likely he entered switzerland illegally through Italy, germany or France. Horrible day for Jews in Europe, Switzerland is normally a safe heaven for Jews in Europe, many from France and Germany sending their kids to Jewish schools in Switzerland. Sad sad….
@ 1a2b3c the police there never use guns. Crime inSwitzerland is so low that Police chasing people for through trash next to the garbage can. Its much safer than the countries around them…
