Urgent Call for a Thorough Investigation into the Antisemitic Attack on Mr. Cohen

Over the weekend, we were all shocked by the brutal antisemitic attack on a Jewish man in the French city of Yerres. While walking home from the mikveh, Mr. Cohen was violently assaulted by an individual who called him a “dirty Jew” and proceeded to physically beat him without stopping. The attack caused serious injuries, including trauma to his eye that required hospitalization. This latest assault comes amid a disturbing wave of antisemitic incidents taking place almost daily across France. EJA Chairman, Rabbi Menachem Margolin, has sent an urgent letter to Minister Bruno Retailleau, and Prefect Fabienne Balussou, calling for immediate reinforcement of security around synagogues and Jewish community centers , especially ahead of Yom Kippur.
