A 

man was shot outside of a 
synagogue in North Miami 
Beach.
The victim was shot several times 
in the leg the evening of July 28, 
as he stood outside of the Young 
Israel of Greater Miami synagogue 
waiting for daily prayers to begin, 
according to multiple reports.
Police told local media that a man 
got out of a black Chevrolet Impala 
and opened fire, striking the victim, 
age 58, several times in the leg.
The Yeshiva World News website 
identified the victim as Yosef 
Noach ben Leah Tzivyah — in the 
traditional manner in which prayers 
for someone’
s health are recited — 
and said he was 69.
The car had circled the synagogue 
several times before the attack, 
WSVN Channel 7 reported, citing 
unnamed officials.

The victim was taken to a local 
hospital where he underwent 
surgery and is in stable condition.
Police are investigating 
the incident but have not yet 
categorized it as a hate crime, 
according to the report.
“I call upon the U.S. authorities 

to put an end to the wave of anti-
Semitic terrorist attacks that are 
being perpetrated against Jews in 
the United States. It’
s time for Jews 
to be able to live their lives like 
any other citizen,” Yaakov Hagoel, 
vice chairman of the 
 World Zionist 
Organization, said in a statement. ■
