SOHO (VINnews) — A video shared on twitter by Newsmax columnist Bryan Leib, shows a shirtless man threatening a Chabad Shliach in Soho this past Friday.

In the video, the Shliach, identified by Lieb as Yossi, is seen on the sidewalk, as a shirtless man is yelling at him “Call the [expletive] police, or I’m gonna blow your head off!”
When Yossi quickly retreats, the man follows him with his hands in his pockets, and continues to yell “I’m gonna blow your head off with the gun that I have in my pocket.”
He then yells a racial slur, and walks off yelling “Are you Jewish?!”

Yossi was undeterred by the man’s hate, and continued to stay on location, helping people to put on Tefilin and pray.
“We are doing this Tefilin to show that we are stronger than hate,” Yossi said as he finished wrapping Tefilin on a man on the street. “Even though that guy tried to do an anti-Semitic act, tried to attack us, we are showing that we are stronger than him.”
“And through putting on Tefilin, we show that Am Yisroel Chai, we are one, and we stand together against hate.”
After the incident – Yossi did many mitzahs to continue forward on his mission of spreading light. Thank G-d he’s okay but this could have been much worse.
So while Jews are being murdered in Israel for being Jews – Jew hatred also happens every day in NYC. Every single day!!! pic.twitter.com/6E715Ceggj

In a disturbing twist to the story, Bryan Leib shared that Facebook removed his post on the story, and in fact threatened to restrict his account if he “violates” again.
Why is @Facebook removing my post and giving me a warning for raising awareness about Jew hatred? @StopAntisemites @EndJewHatred @MortonAKlein7 @ZOA_National pic.twitter.com/0DV151w5Wc

Worse than the attack by this mentally ill person, is the attack by Facebook
Bh that Noone got hurt
And thanks to my good friend Bryan leib for posting and bringing awareness to anti semitism in nyc and always fighting anti semitism head on
“Shabbat” or Friday? Someone there doesn’t know the difference apparently.
I mean, did you watch the video? The guy is clearly mentally unstable.
Facebook protects Jew haters and blocks anyone calling out Jew hatred. Call for the death of Jews it stays, call out those posting death to Jews you get blocked.
Didn’t all the $elf appointed $elf important a$Kanim tell us to vote for eric aguda adams? Are they all in Florida already living off their A$kanu$??
Shabbat is on Friday???
One of the reasons, I HATE FACEBOOK !!!
Agree with vocalist and sol leb…but also so messed Facebook
Call the עסקנים\]]]777
Facebook is run by anti Semites.
These chabadniks on the street need to carry mace. No question
the man is an obvious nut case which is true of most antisemites….
Well, this animal in the video certainly qualifies to be called a irredeemable demon, or maybe a rabies infected sewer rat.
By the way ,there is no such Tanya, what you are is a irredeemable self hating Jewish ant-semite
Can you really blame the chabad of today for something the Bal Hatanya wrote in the mid 1700’s?
Can you please provide the context for this purported statement.
why in the world does VIN not edit out the expletive at the beginning of the video????
BREAKING NEWS!!!
Someone mistakenly called Friday (Erev Shabbos) “Shabbat”!
HOW TERRIBLE! HOW IGNORANT!
How, how, how… GET A LIFE, PEOPLE!
If you really want to nitpick:
The shliach should have (and BTW, it’s NOT “should of”) asked the gentleman putting on Tefillin to remove his wristwatch before putting on the Shel Yad Tefillin.
Probably was asked one too many times “Sir are you Jewish, would you like to put on Tefilin” ?
