Man Who Hurled Egg at Israel Tefillin Stand Makes Amends
(Chabad.org) – Three weeks after hurling an egg at a tefillin stand in Nes Tziona in northern Israel, Elad Levi returned on Friday to make amends, and pledged to wear tefillin every day going forward.
The attack followed a verbal assault on yeshivah students at a tefillin stand in Tel Aviv, which went viral on the internet, drawing widespread condemnation from public figures. The attack in Nes Tziona also was met with an outcry, and local police opened an investigation into the hate crime.
Apologizing to the yeshivah students who operate the stand each Friday under the supervision of Chabad of Nes Tziona, Levi put on tefillin and pledged that from now on, he would continue performing the mitzvah daily.
The students accepted his apology and praised his new commitment.
