Yoseph Robinson (Center) with two unidentified friends.

A Jewish liquor storeowner was shot and mortally wounded just a short while ago, Hatzalah responded to the scene on Avenue J and rushed the patient to Kings County Hospital, where he was just pronounced dead on arrival.

The owner was identified as Yosef Robinson, a Ger Tzedek.

Initial reports say that a armed black man walked into the store, located on Avenue J and Nostrand Avenue, and attempted to rob it, when something went wrong and the suspect shot the owner multiple times.

    I dont think he was the owner, he was a worker, I’ve met him several times and he was kind, patient and honest. May his soul have a speedy aaliyah.

  • THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY SHOOTINGS

    EVEN ONE IS ONE TOO MANY

    MAY HIS NESHAMA HAVE AN ALIYAH

    Hashem Yenakem Damav, we should have techias hameisim now and see him again.

    Amen to what you said, R.F. May his neshama have a speedy Aaliyah. So sad. When is the Levayah, and I hope they will pass by 770. I am a Gerress myself, and I know how difficult it can be, and I “blend” in sort of. I’m sure he had many difficult tests on his journey. I know he was working on a book, I hope it will still be published soon. Please publish details of the funeral and where he will be buried soon. And may Hashem comfort all of us as we mourn a Ger Tzedek, with all the other mourners of zion. May we experience immediate relief from our suffering with the ultimate Geulah in Yerushalayim!

    BDE..my Facebook friend who inspired me with his devotion to Hashem and Yiddishkeit…missing you..

    He was NOT the owner, but a humble employee. The pic is of him when he lived in L.A., prior to his Giyur. He was truly an exceptional fellow, who sought to publish a book about his journey of finding Yidishkeit, which will surely inspire many to come closer to HKB”H.H_Shem Yikom Damo.

    That guy in the CAR is actually him prior to coming into frumkeit. It is NOT the shooter.

  • BPYID

    The guy in the car is not the shooter!!! It is yosef before he became a Jew!!! Baruch Dayan Emes, Yosef came to yidishkeit after being involved in the music/hip hop scene of LA. He has a special neshoma!

    The Levaya will be on Sunday at Shomrei Hadas Chapel 3803 14th Avenue Boro Park. Exact time unknown. Those interested in attending can call the chapel @718.436.8700 for details.

    Thank you for posting the funeral info. Please pass by 770. The Rebbe once said to a Shliach who said, “but he’s just a Ger,” that the Ger has a higher neshama than “you or me.” Please pass by 770.

    I live on the street in back of the store. He was a very refined and nice man. What a shame. Not happy about the neighborhood but noticed that the store was open very late. Open door and he would be alone. We must be careful!!

    PLEASE UPDATE: The Levaya is scheduled for MONDAY, 7pm.
    He was Niftar in the week of ahavtem ess hager, so it’s a sign we should be there
