With Rabbi Raksin’s Killers Still at Large, Miami Jews Remain United, But Fearful
On Monday evening, police officials and community leaders from Miami-Dade met with residents of the North Miami Beach Jewish community to inform them of the latest updates in the unsolved case of a Crown Heights rabbi who was shot and killed while walking to synagogue on August 9, but despite police outreach many residents remain fearful, wondering whether or not the case will ever be solved.
CBS Miami reports that investigators told the over 100 community members assembled that “significant” progress is being made in the case, but withheld specifics due to the ongoing investigation.
It is believed that police are looking for two young males who allegedly shot and killed Rabbi Joseph Raksin, a Brooklynite, who was in town visiting relatives.
Jewish community members said they are united, but fearful that their safety might still be at risk.
Resident Michael Levin said he doesn’t “feel as safe” as he did a month ago, while Steve Glueck said the community feel like it’s “under attack.”
Laraine Stern admitted to carrying mace in the wake of the shooting, saying “police can’t be there every minute.”
not enough people
Know there is a $50. 000 reward. Bottom line a killer is on the loose in the community.

“Remain Fearful”? What on earth for? Check your Mezuzos, give extra tzedakah, apply for your CCW (Florida is a “shall issue” state) take a few NRA approved firearms safety courses, purchase the firearm which fits and works best for you, practice with it on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, take some tactical weapons proficiency courses, practice and become proficient, carry ALL THE TIME (yes, contrary to popular Frum belief, evil does NOT take a break on Shabbos, Yom Tov, or if you happen to be on your way to Shul or a Chabad house) and STOP ALL THE WHINING ABOUT HOW “WE ARE SOOOO SCARED” and how ”WE NEED MORE POLICE PROTECTION”. ESTABLISH YOURSELF AS YOUR OWN FIRST AND BEST LINE OF DEFENSE.
