Jae Kyung Lee (56) of Monroe who is a janitor at the ‘Charedim’ Synagogue on Van Buren Drive stabbed a 35 year old man who is said to be an employee of the Synagogue in the upper leg with a small screwdriver type object causing a small puncture wound while both were in the synagogue.
The male victim sustained a wound to his foot and was being treated at the scene with non life threatening injuries.
Lee was charged for assault in the second degree, additionally he was charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree.
Its not clear what precipitated the incident.
He is currently awaiting arraignment in the Town of Monroe Court.
The problem is that Synagogue, Federations, JCC’s, and other Jewish organizations don’t always do a thorough criminal background check to weed out potential employees, who may have a history of violence, are sexual predators, abuse drugs, have anti-semitic attitudes, or are sociopaths. You get what you pay for; if organizations wants to employ those from the bottom of the barrel, problems can arise.
He has not been paid in 2 months, no vacation time, too much choolent
Article fails to mention it was a Yid coming out from minyan – the article is ambiguous enough to make it sound like two goyim fighting
