Paris, France – The Jewish teenager who was severely beaten by a gang of youths after leaving the synagogue as was reported here on Vos Iz Neias, is still in an artificial coma but he is in an “better condition.”
“He will wake up progressively and doctors are optimistic,” Sammy Ghozlan, head of the National Vigilance Bureau Against Anti-Semitism, said Monday afternoon after visiting Rudy Haddad at the Cochin hospital

The 17-year-old, wearing a kippah or skullcap, was attacked by seven youths of Black African origin who beat him with metal bars and smashed his skull near the Beth Haya Mouchka Lubavitch synagogue in Paris’s 19th district.
The victim, who suffered several broken ribs and a fractured skull, was immediately placed in intensive care at Cochin hospital in central Paris.
Rudy’s friends said that as a practising Jew, he never carried either a mobile phone or money on him, making theft an unlikely motive for the attack.
Speaking to the press on Monday, France’s newly elected chief rabbi Gilles Bernheim appeared to be more cautious, saying the anti-Semitic character of the attack “is probable but not certain.”
some how i am a bit suspicous of this new chief rabbi if even the President is calling it an anti semitic attack who is he to be cautious this attack is diffrent because unlike most french jews he was proud to walk around with a yarmulka on his head
@2:55: President of what? I don’t understand you.
french jews should not make aliyah, they should fight back!
