Description

The Forshay Kehilla hosted a deeply moving event at Ateres Charna Hall to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the horrific Monsey stabbing attack that occurred during Chanukah in 2019. The tragedy left a lasting impact on the community and drew hundreds of attendees to reflect, remember, and unite in strength.

Among the victims was R’ Yosef Neumann, hy”d, who succumbed to his injuries months later. The event featured heartfelt speeches and moments of reflection, honoring the memory of R’ Yosef Neumann and recognizing the heroism of Josef Gluck. Gluck’s brave actions in confronting the attacker undoubtedly saved countless lives that night. In a statement issued on the anniversary, the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office expressed solidarity with the community, saying, “We must never forget the heroic actions of Josef Gluck, who saved many from injury or death, and the memory of Josef Neumann, who lost his life due to the injuries he suffered on that tragic night.”
