New York City Chief Chaplain, Rabbi Kass, was beaten while jogging

80-year-old Alvin Kass, who is the chief chaplain of the New York City Police Department, was attacked this week and suffered minor injuries.

This crime was committed last Sunday on Riverside Boulevard, Upper West Side, Manhattan, where a rabbi made a morning jog, reports the 21 June newspaper The New York Post .

Site ABC7NY.com writes that, according to the rabbi, he does not wear a pile while jogging, and therefore the police do not regard this attack as a hate crime.

Cass said that unknown gangsters attacked him without any explanation, took nothing away and silently fled from the scene of the crime. An elderly rabbi asked for help at Weill-Cornell Presbyterian Hospital. Cass is the chief chaplain of the New York City Police Department since 2002, and the chief rabbi of this structure is 1966.

In an article published in 2012 year The Wall Street Journal, it is said that Kass is a “record holder” of the Police Department: no one before him has served as chief rabbi for such a long period. Kass is also an honorary member of the East Midwood Jewish Center and a Conservative synagogue in Brooklyn. He also took part in rescue efforts during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
