Can the 1991 crown heights riot pogrom happen again. Not likely. I was there. I went there to protect my fellow Jews. Crown heights if you look around is slowly changing lots of white yuppies are moving in. Look around prospect park black areas turning white. The way to stop attacks physically is to sue the police and the city for millions of dollars if they fail their jobs. Also the city is changing since 1991. There are over a million Chinese who live in New York who hate blacks due to their crime rate. Boro park became safe because… Read more »
JEWS NEED TO PROTECT EACH OTHER GET SHOMRIM WITH GUNS.. train for KRAV MAGA
You know how riots begin when our jewish councils and jewish representatives sit back and do nothing to fight against crime in our neighborhood such as the jewish boy that was attacked in the video!!!
I agree the sheva mitzvahs are good, but achdus & ahavas Yisroel is even more crucial.
I couldn’t have said it better! The Rebbe already told us how to prevent this and he specifically said we do NOT need more police and more jails! We MUST start posting the Noahide laws and websites all over Crown Heights. The goyim are ready, willing and WANT to learn the Noahide Laws, but we have to be humble enough to get off our high horse and start teaching it and even opening up Noahide friendly Yeshivas and Shuls.

When we are feeding our 13 year-olds with alcohol every Thursday night and every other day that we Fabreng what can we expect?
We enable this culture then cry about it.
This is shameful, careless and reckless of the part of our educators and parents.
the lineup on the 16th looks top. I will be there.
Drugs and DRINK destroying our families!!! It’s so sad and the drinking to me seems out of control! Is there a test to determine who may be prone to drugs or drink morethen others so we can take precautions. I feel so ignorant in this area but worry over this often!
Anyone with knowledge please share!!
Yes drugs is a huge concern.The drinking is a huge problem too! We are loosing our kids and loosing one person is like loosing an entire world!This is tragic! Some marriages are destroyed too over substance abuse and excessive drinking!
Someone who really care for the CH and help everyone
Not rely on the police, FBI or anyone else from the government
What’s the difference between the event tomorrow night and the one on the 16th?
Rabbi Shea hecht… following in your father’s footsteps
The hechts ar such amazing and wonderful caring people…
Keep it up ncfje
Dr Sands spoke very well, is seems very knowledgeable. Everyone should go on May 16th, it is a very important event.
Can happen again… let’s ask what are we all doing as individuals and as a collective unit besides the politicians to keep our streets safe for our kids and moms!!!!
Thank you for this audio I did listen and I worry about safety all the time! And yes I do have faith in Hashem
Great to hear you on radio again. I was a fan of your fathers Shema yisroel radio show and then yours on the zev Brenner show then on WRL. Have missed your thoughts and interesting views.
Thank you for caring about our neighborhood our children and grandchildren and not giving up on the Rebbes shechuna!
Let’s keep our streets safe and let’s keep our streets filled with proud frum kids!!!!
B’H whoever chose the title for this interview could have done a little better. It’s time to have a dialogue about security in the neighborhood. Not provoking excessive anxiety.
Couldnt have said it better…
Rabbi hecht it was truly amazing, kohl hakavod
Rabbi Behrman … to see you following in your fathers footsteps is heartwarming!
It should bring an Aliya’s haneshama to Michoel a”h and having this interview on his birthday is hashgacha!!!
Thank you for all you do for our neighborhood!

The Rebbe told us that the only antidote is sheva mitzvas bnai noach.
The only question is when will we flood Non Jewish Crown Hts with the sheva mitzvos bnei noach and the rest of Brooklyn and NYC boroughs as well
