Following Attackers Guilty Verdict, Rabbi Menachem Moskowitz Thanks The Community

Following the guilty verdict this past week in the trial of James Vincent – who attacked and strangled Rabbi Menachem Moskowitz in 2018 – Rabbi Moskowitz penned the following letter of thanks to the community.

Dear Toshvei Hashchunah ,V’klal Yisroel ,

This past week we witnessed on כא חשון a major דדן נצח for klal Yisroel. All of the jurors confirmed that the attacker is guilty on all charges as a hate crime.

This is a day of שבח והודאה to many.

First I want to thank Hashem Yisborach for orchestrating the whole infamous episode, and then the trial in which there was a big kiddush Hashem. My testimony allowed me to make a Kiddush Hashem, which was reiterated in the closing arguments. Which ended in a victory verdict for Klal Yisroel .הודו לה’ כי טוב כי לעולם חסדו!!!!

Second, I would like to thank and give a שבח והודאה to the Rebbe , for giving me the brochos on the trial and for the verdict.

Third, I would like to give a שבח והודאה to the תושבי השכונה מכאן צוה ה’ את הברכה ,וכלל ישראל

For davening for me ,and for the trial. In addition for showing support by watching and following the court proceedings via the zoom link from the court house. It made a very big impression & impact to the court, and it’s officials handling the case. There were approximately 250 people on, and that impressed them that the community was behind me.

Therefore I would like to thank all of you for showing your support and linking in to the zoom access and davening for me and the trial !!!! ישר כוחכם בכל הלב !!!

Wishing everyone a guten gebenshed simchadike week !!!!!!

May Hashem grant us the ultimate geulah by bringing Moshiach Now.

Menachem Moskowitz
