Honor the sacrifice and elevate the soul of Yankel Rosenbaum HYD, murdered in Crown Heights in 1991.
Thirty years ago, an angry mob shouting, “Kill the Jews!, chased a Lubavitcher bochur through the streets of Crown Heights. At President and Brooklyn, Yankel was surrounded and violently stabbed and beaten.
On the 30th anniversary of his murder, friends and family will gather at the scene of the anti-Semitic attack to say Kaddish and recite Mishnayos in his memory.
Date: Aug 18, 2021-Yud Elul
Location: President Street and Brooklyn Avenue, Crown Heights
Time: 6:45PM
Yankel’s only sibling, Norman Rosenbaum obm, flew to New York from Australia over 250 times in his never-ending quest for justice on behalf of his brother. Norman never gave up and was in Crown Heights on the 25th anniversary of Yankel’s killing and held a memorial on the corner of President Street and Brooklyn. Sadly, Norman passed away in 2020.
On Yankel’s 30th Yahrzeit, let’s remember his story. Let’s continue Norman’s 30-year commitment to seeking justice and keeping Yankel’s memory alive. Show up and join the Rosenbaum family and members of Anash in saying Kaddish and Mishnayos in his memory. Norman’s son, Yoni Rosenbaum, will say Kaddish and speak during the program.
Still no words..

Last report I saw was that he was stabbed in the
head, in a road-rage incident. He was hospitalized
in stable condition.

Crazy……. most of our kids dont remember the 1991 riots.
Norman A”H was a hero
May their memories be fir a blessing.
May their mum have long life
Unfortunately. Their mother Fay has passed away
We will never forget. The attack on Yankel was an attack on all of us. The response and the non-response was also.
Norman, a”h, gave years of his life fighting for justice for Yankel and our community.
Two souls united. One died Al kiddush Hashem while the other made a huge kiddush Hashem. We all need to huge the day remembering their sacrifices.
And the democrats are talking of running Al Sharpton, who helped inflame the riots, as governor.
Its horrific that Yankel’s murderer, is still walking the streets.
Enormous tragedy. Moshiach Now! No words after all these years. Sorry to hear the mother of these 2 sons has passed to. May their memories be for a blessing.
