The Interfaith Center of New York condemns the beating of Rabbi Haim on the subway yesterday, while he was visiting New York from Israel for cancer treatment. Rabbi Haim was attacked by several youth who yelled antisemitic epithets at him and physically assaulted him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rabbi Haim, his family, and community, and we share with other New Yorkers a vision of our city as a place free from prejudice and hatred of all kinds.
