Vienna, My City of (Anti-Semitic) Dreams/Nightmares

Excerpt: This past Saturday evening, Chabad rabbi Dov Gruzman was conducting the annual ceremony to light the public Chanukah menorah in Stefenfaltz Square in Vienna, Austria. Suddenly, a local Muslim rushed over, began cursing the Jews, then "hurled himself" at the Rabbi, punching and kicking him. As the rabbi tried to hold off his attacker, the Muslim suddenly "bit his victim, severing part of his finger." The attacker was caught and arrested; the rabbi was hospitalized, and doctors tried to reattach his finger. I hope the rabbi does not have rabies. Rabbi Gruzman was not dispirited. In fact, he has just planned a much larger public lighting of the menorah and increased the usual order of 50 sufganiyot (Chanukah jelly doughnuts) to 700. "This is our answer to anti-Semitism."
