Campaign Against Antisemitism's video: The Crown Heights Riot

31 years ago today saw the beginning of the deadly Crown Heights riot. People chanted “Death to Jews” as Jewish people were attacked and had their homes looted. Yankel Rosenbaum, a Jewish student from Australia studying in the United States, was stabbed and later died from his wounds. May his memory be a blessing. Watch as Rabbi Mordechai Lightstone tells the story of how it all happened. Clip from Season 2, Episode 9 of Podcast Against Antisemitism. Rabbi Mordechai Lightstone is at the cutting edge of the intersection of Jewish thought and technology, having launched projects such as Tech Tribe and NFTorah. The Brooklyn-based rabbi is also one of the key figures spearheading the social media of Chabad.org, the official website of the worldwide Chabad-Lubavitch movement. Watch the full interview on our YouTube channel where Rabbi Lightstone discusses the current spike of antisemitism in New York, being Jewish and proud on Twitter and how he is raising funds for Torah scrolls using NFTs.
