Jewish New Yorker recounts stabbing just centimeters from his heart by antisemitic sicko: ‘Going to kill a Jew today’

A Jewish New Yorker described Tuesday how he was stabbed just centimeters from his heart by a hateful sicko — who made a chilling promise before lunging at him on a Brooklyn street.

“I’m going to kill a Jew today,” the knife-wielding goon seethed before launching the antisemitic attack, said victim Elias Rosner, 35, in an interview with The Post on Wednesday.

Rosner, a member of the Lubavitch Hasidic community in Crown Heights, had just left the temple on Tuesday afternoon when he came across the still-at-large attacker spewing antisemitic slurs.

“I was waiting in a crowd of Jewish people and this guy started spouting stuff,” Rosner recalled.

“I’m going to kill Jewish people, I’m going to kill a Jew today, I don’t give a f–k … We wouldn’t be in this mess if the Holocaust had happened,” the unhinged man ranted, according to Rosner.

The man “looked very serious” — but Rosner refused to cower in the face of the ugly threats, he said.

“I guess I was the one guy that had the bravery to look him in the eye,” he said.

“So, he was waiting. He set a trap up for me a block ahead. He came around the corner and it just started happening.”

Rosner was stabbed once in the chest, at the corner of Kingston Avenue and Lincoln Place around 4 p.m., by the madman, police said, adding the NYPD was investigating the attack as an antisemitic hate crime — on the third night of the Hanukkah Jewish holiday.

The Brooklynite only narrowly escaped with his life — miraculously saved by his sweater, he said.

Contrary to the headline, this happened on the street, not the subway. And Rosner toots his horn a bit much, which I've omitted.

Glad he's alive.

Let’s give Israel full permissions to take care of NYC. That POS city deserves it, and it’ll remove the vermin...and it’ll get rats also.

“So, he was waiting. He set a trap up for me a block ahead. He came around the corner and I drew my sidearm and shot the muzztard SOB.

Oh.

Wait.

This was in Noo Yawk $#!++y.

You didn't HAVE a sidearm.

Because you idiots keep voting for DEMOCRATS.

[stevio]

Oh, NOW it’s an issue.

[Eleutheria5]

I can safely assume that Lubavitcher Chassidim in Crown Heights vote consistently Republican. He probably voted for Sliwa, fwiw.

[NorthMountain]

Madmani is the mayor-elect. New York (City in particular) has been a democRAT pesthole for generations, and is one of America’s worst violators of the Second Amendment.

For Freepers not familiar with NYC when one walks down a street in Manhattan you'll see a number of men with the customary Orthodox appearance: that black hat,the beard,the "curls" (don't know what they're called) on the sides of their face,black clothing,the strings (don't know what they're called) hanging from their belt. I don't know if it's true in the other boroughs but my guess is that it could be true in parts of Brooklyn.

Given this fact it's easy to see why NYC would be a dream place for moslem psychopaths.

[Gay State Conservative]

It’s my understanding that “secular” Jews vote overwhelmingly Rat but Orthodox Jews vote mainly...or maybe entirely...GOP.

[NorthMountain]

Also, I would be very curious to know Mr. Rosner’s unfiltered personal opinion on gun-control and the right to keep and bear arms.

I’m not speculating on what it might be ... just curious. Being “Republican” doesn’t necessarily translate to being pro-RKBA.

Because you idiots keep voting for DEMOCRATS.

Orthodox Jews in NYC, such as Mr. Rosner, voted for Trump in 2024 at around the same percentage as the people in your deep red state of West Virginia.

Rosner, a member of the Lubavitch Hasidic community in Crown Heights, had just left the temple on Tuesday afternoon when he came across the still-at-large attacker spewing antisemitic slurs.

No Orthodox Jew goes to a "temple." Only "Reform Jews" go to "temples" because they reject the idea that the Holy Temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt.

[NorthMountain]

But West Virginia is “Constitutional”.

New York is ...

...

... something else.

West Virginia voted for Clinton. Both times. Same as New York.

Then we got our act together.

New York is more ‘RAT infested now than ever.

Looks like it’s time for suave, sophisticated New York to catch up with us toothless hillbillies in WV.

Body armor is illegal to purchase in NY, unless you are a security guard or the like.

Not sure of the reasoning, except they want people to be easy prey.

Penal Law Section 270.21
Unlawful purchase of body armor

“A person is guilty of the unlawful purchase of body armor when, not being engaged or employed in an eligible profession, they knowingly purchase or take possession of body armor, as such term is defined in subdivision two of section 270.20 of this article. This section shall not apply to individuals or entities engaged or employed in eligible professions, which shall include police officers as defined in section 1.20 of the criminal procedure law, peace officers as defined in section 2.10 of the criminal procedure law, persons in military service in the state of New York or military or other service for the United States, and such other professions designated by the department of state in accordance with Executive Law § 144-A (Eligible professions for the purchase, sale, and use of body armor). Unlawful purchase of body armor is a class A misdemeanor for a first offense and a class E felony for any subsequent offense.”

They're called pe'ot, which means "corners." It's from the Torah forbidding cutting the "corners" of their facial hair. It's the same word for "corners" of a field which were left for the poor to glean from.

black clothing,the strings (don't know what they're called) hanging from their belt.

They're called tzitziyot (singular tzitzit) which is commanded at the end of Numbers 15, which is the final paragraph of the Shema`.

“Because you idiots keep voting for DEMOCRATS.”

Jews voted 2:1 for someone other than Mandami.

In this very Jewish neighborhood, the vote was 96% against Mandami.

Never make eye contact with a nut case screaming in the street.

[FreeReign]

Looks like it’s time for suave, sophisticated New York to catch up with us toothless hillbillies in WV.

I'm not comparing NYC to WV. I'm comparing the Orthodox Jewish (such as Mr. Rosner) voters to the voters of West Virginia.

They are similar.

The Orthodox Jews live in the deep red districts on this Brooklyn map.

Subway riders may have to identify as a "furry" but wear a turtle or armadillo costume. On a related note; "Student furry group approved at New York's SUNY Plattsburgh":

I once arrived in a semi at a delivery location where the forklift driver was dressed like that. I had to ask.

He was a Hasidic Jew who had moved to Arizona in the hopes of finding work translating the Torah -- his specialty. When he found none, he got a job driving a forklift.

Worst forklift driver I ever saw.
