What makes the Jewish holiday of Sukkot memorable for me is something I have loved to do ever since I first got my own set of the Four Kinds, the lulav and etrog set. We are commanded to shake the Four Kinds every morning of the eight-day holiday (excluding the Sabbath), and the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, taught us to take our lulav and etrog and pass it around to whomever else would be willing to recite the blessing and do a “shake.”

The letters contrast sharply: Rabbi Osdoba along with Rabbi Yeruslavsky came out strong and decisively, saying “It is a shocking and terrible thing,” and even drew parallels to the Chabda-Satmar violence of the 1980s. On the other hand, Rabbis Schwei and Braun all but accused the victims of provoking the attacks, and warned against Messirah.
A Bochur walking home late at night was attacked from behind, a towel wrapped around his head so that he could not see his attackers, kicked and punched to the moment he felt that he was surely going to die.
