(NL Times) An attack on Rabbi Aryeh Leib [Heintz] in the Overvecht shopping center in Utrecht last week has left his daughter, Devora, shaken. “It made me very stressed, and I couldn’t sleep,” the 17-year-old girl told the Telegraaf. “We are no longer safe in the Netherlands.”
A man attacked the rabbi at the Action supermarket in the shopping center on Friday afternoon. According to Heintz, the man pushed him and hit him on the forehead after asking him what he was doing in the shopping center dressed as a Jew. The 40-year-old man turned himself in at a police station on Sunday and is in custody.
The war in the Gaza Strip has made everything worse for the Jewish community in the Netherlands, Devora told the Telegraaf.
