Police in Paris are investigating a 27-year-old Arab man on suspicion that he murdered his neighbor Lucy Halimi, a 66-year-old Jewish Charedi woman, following a confrontation in her apartment.
Mrs. Halimi’s body was found on the street beneath her third-floor apartment Tuesday morning at approximately 4:00 a.m. Halimi lived in her apartment alone. One of her children lives in Israel while two other daughters live in France.
According to suspicions, the man, who is already known to the police, pushed her to her death from her apartment which was located on the third floor of the building.
Neighbors reportedly testified that they had heard the suspect shouting that he wanted to kill Halimi just before the incident. Others reported reports state that the suspect stabbed the woman in her bed while yelling” Allah Akbar and then pushed her from the third floor.
Mrs. Halimi lived in Paris’ 11th district, which is home to a large population of immigrants from North Africa and is one of the most densely populated areas of the city.
A levayah was held on Wednesday afternoon in Paris.
Mrs. Halimi A’H also lived near the site of the 2015 shooting at the Bataclan Theater that claimed the lives of 131 victims and wounded many others.

I can only too well appreciate # 9’s reasoning, so thank you for comforting us especially with your Torah wisdom.
An old lady thrown from her apartment to her death. We need to scream as Jews. Europe is flowing with Jewish blood and we need to help our Jewish brothers before it gets worse.
There is a sicha that deals almost exactly with the point you are makinf and i found it instructive, perhaps you will to or perhaps not, but if you really care to understand look it up. The sicha deals with the Jews in the desert and they start complaining (as they do) and Hashem gets angry and sends snakes to bite them. To end the punishment Hashem tells Moshe to make a copper snake and put it on a stick for all to see. ( this is where the medical sign comes from) the Jews are healed etc. The question… Read more »
1) Goyim have Bechira (it’s extremely complicated…) 2) Hashem creates the world in a way that our actions and that of humanity make a difference 3) No one knew Hashem better than Moshe Rabeinu and he said to Hashem (Shmos 5, 22) “why have you wronged this nation”. Sympathizing with others is a virtue and an obligation, why else would there be a Mitzvah of Aveilus. Mourning and sympathizing does not challenge our Emunah. On the contrary, it is because we believe that Hashem is good that we ask, how can this happen?! Hashem doesn’t need our logical justification for… Read more »
Let me get his straight. A gentile kills a Jew. Gentiles do not have free choice, but do as God does through them. So God killed this Jew through this gentile. We can’t understand God’s ways so we say Boruch Dayan Emes.But what I don’t get is the “HY”D or HAshem Yerachem. God is the one that spilled the blood. Just accept God isn’t on your page.
HY”D!
This is crazy!
what can be done abt this?????? absolutely insane
To #5, the authorities have already “done their job” by letting “a large population of immigrants from North Africa” into the country. France has paid dearly, and will continue to pay R”L for allowing this.
Uch! And what have the authorities been doing so far?
…..oh my God……
Terrorism is everywhere!! Wow, he was known to authorities, what dies that help!!?? Her life was taken!!

Hashem yeracheim
