Following the demolition of a shul in the Kaminetz area of Jerusalem’s northern N’vei Yaakov neighborhood, Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Yisrael Kellerman received threatening phone calls including death threats.

The caller(s) blamed Kellerman for the destruction of the Heichal Nissim Shul and threatened the chareidi councilman’s life. City Hall officials decided to play it safe and assigned a body guard to the deputy mayor.
