Brooklyn, NY - Police have arrested two men on assault charges after a fight broke out at a party in the Midwood section of Brooklyn, NY.

The incident began at about midnight on June 13th, when Bentzion Keller, 17, and his friends showed up uninvited to the soiree at Marc Bahar's home at Avenue L and East 21st Street.

Keller argued with Bahar, 22, and struck him in the hand with a broomstick, and then a fistfight then broke out.

Police arrested Keller and Bahar at the scene and charged them with assault and menacing. Bahar was also charged with criminal mischief. No one was seriously injured.

these were not animals but ppl enjoying a 25th anniversary party. Because someone is not religous does not make them an animal. Whoever wrote that is the animal in the sense that he even tinks that way. You should be ashamed of yourselves one by one.

This was a tragedy and for the people who say that these kids are "not frum" or are "animals" or referring to a zoo, you seriously make me so sad. To say they are immitating goyim makes me want to cry!

I personally am a Baalat Teshuvah, i have "been there and done that" but first and foremost I am a JEW. you are all JEWS, we are all accepted by Hashem. He is the only one who knows what each and every one of us are capable of, what our potential really is.

Who are you or any one of us to judge? HOW DARE YOU JUDGE SOMEONE IN A SITUATION YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT?

Also, why are you all discussing this situation anyway? Who cares what the fight was about, who cares what he got hit with? The fact is this jewish boy has passed away, for reasons we will never know, and do not need to know (which is why we dont do autopsies.)

Please, PLEASE stop discussing this, it really is a sad situation. Let us elevate his neshama.

Excuse me but when anonymous at 2:44 pm wrote this was a chilul HaShem, the person who wrote this should be ashamed of her/himself! It was a mistake... Benny Keller had all then good intentions in mind and the Bahar boy was the one who started the fight! Benny was a tzaddik! He was a great boy. He never even spoke ONE word of loshon hara. Now, does that seem like such a tzaddik would get into a fistfight caused by himself??! I hope that Bentzion Berel Keller's neshama will rest in peace, and go staright to olam haba! Benny, you will never be forgotton, and you will always be with us. Everyone who knew you, would know that you made everyone's life happier,healthier, and joyful jut because we knew you. You were a true tzaddik and you will be missed by all. I still can't believe you are gone...

P.S. Anyone who would like to see what a true tzaddik Benny was, please check out his myspace! You will see for yourself.

P.P.S. Thank you for being such a gr8 guy, your parents must be so proud! Actually, I know they are!
I love you benny and R.I.P.!!

For any of you who seem to think Benny wasn’t a frum boy,. The last conversation I ever had with one. I’m pretty sure the last one he really had. Was 2 am shabbos morning. We had a conversation about being “frum”, and how cool it is that not only is he a bal t’chuva cause his parents became frum when he was younger. But now he’s also a chozer b’chuva.
If you knew this boy. You know he didn’t really talk a lot of smack about other people. Maybe

Firstly to say that they are not frum jews and that they are chayas is the dumbest thing to say. was arthur schick not a frum jew? are te entire satmar community not frum jews? how many of us have been in fights over something stupid in our lives...this poor boy was a frum jew and his family who is suffering terribly at this time are also frum jews. also it is very possible that this death was as a result of the fight. boruch hashem for the behar boy that jews are not allowed to do investigations and autopsies because he could be in a world of trouble. we need to all daven for this family.

Intelligence people. One of ours passes away and all you have to say is "They are not frum people -They are real "CHAIYAS" - they don't belong here - but in a zoo."
"Sounds like copying the goyim to me."
Need I remind you that we are not even in the summer months of Tammuz and Av and already there are unthinkable tragedies upon us.
Rein in your pathetic comments and better use your time to say some Tehillim and increase your Ahavas Yisroel practices.

As far as we know, there was no clot, Nothing out of ordinary, I spent all day yesterday Talking to the Medical Examiner, Investigators, Coroners and rabonim, We have all concluded that It was not related the fight in anyway, It would be apreciated by his freinds and family, if everyone out there did not spread rumors and camne to false conclusion, the Keller family is going thru a very hard time now, and we most support them rather then redicule them.

Sounds like copying the goyim to me. They get into fights at parties. What kind of party was it anyway? Jews shouldn't stam have parties for the sake of having a good time. We have Simchas not parties.
