Community and faith leaders in Brooklyn joined together Monday afternoon to call for an end to anti-Semitic attacks after two assaults on Jewish people in the borough last week.
The attacks, both last week in Crown Heights, are the latest in a string of alleged bias crimes in Bay Ridge, Crown Heights, East Flatbush and Midwood, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
City and state officials joined faith leaders at the site of one of the attacks to condemn the disturbing trend.
The rally ended with attendees marching to the home of Joseph Raksin, the Brooklyn rabbi who was gunned down while walking to temple during a visit with family in a Miami suburb earlier this month.

where is de blasio is he busy hanging out with his friend sharpton
a. Who is the guy in the picture? Dov Hikind? And why do the YWN editors not see fit to name him? Are they protecting him, like the police in Ferguson, Missouri, are protecting the cop that shot the teenage Michael Brown?
b. I agree completely with the unnamed “community and faith leaders” who oppose attacks on Jews in Crown Heights. Only Jews from Williamsburg are authorized to make those attacks.
