President Reuven Rivlin on Sunday said he was "shocked and horrified" by the stabbing of five people at a house of a Hassidic rabbi in New York City.
"We pray for a speedy recovery of the wounded,” he said. “Rising anti-Semitism is not a problem solely of the Jewish people, and certainly not solely of the State of Israel.”
“We must stand arm in arm in the face of this evil, which raises its head again and again.”
