Rise in antisemitic attacks
The murder of Aryeh Wolf is the latest in a string of anti-semitic assaults. A Jewish woman in her 40s was choked at a New York City subway station in early August – around the same time as Wolf’s murder – and another Jewish subway commuter was punched in the face and told by his attacker that he would shoot him if he had a gun.
