Rabbinical student thanks cops for saving his life after stabbing
Levi Rosenblatt lights Menorah at 71st Precinct
Members of the Chabad-Lubavitch community in Crown Heights showed their support for police by paying a visit to their local precinct on Monday and bringing along a special guest: the young rabbinical student whose life cops saved after he was stabbed by a deranged assailant on Dec. 9.
Levi Rosenblatt, a student from Israel who was stabbed at Chabad-Lubavitch world headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway during an attack in which police killed the assailant, came to the 71st Precinct at 421 Empire Boulevard and personally thanked officers for saving his life.
It was an emotional gathering, according to the Jewish Leadership Council. Rosenblatt, 22, who was only recently released from Bellevue Hospital and is still recovering from his stab wounds, recited a traditional blessing and lit seven candles on the precinct’s Menorah. The visit took place on the seventh night of Hanukah.
