There have been multiple hate crimes against the frum community in Chicago in the past several weeks.
Fox News quoted Rabbi Levi Notik of the F.R.E.E. Synagogue saying that in response to the recent spate of antisemitism, “our message is that we have to add in kindness and goodness and be positive.”
“We are not going to be scared. We are going to stand strong, we’ll get through this. Judaism’s antidote to hate is love and our solution to darkness is light and our remedy to evil is good.”
Last week, police arrested Shahid Hussain for on an antisemitic crime spree, spray-painting swastikas on two synagogues and two high schools in Chicago’s West Rogers Park on Jan. 30.
