15 years since Brooklyn Bridge terror attack

Fifteen years ago today, Ari Halbertsam HY"D was murdered in what was first described as a 'road rage' incident, but was later acknowledged to be one of the first (actually, probably the second after the first World Trade Center attack) terror attacks on American soil. Story here.

UPDATE 1:40 AM

NY Nana sent me this powerful video of Ari Halberstam's mother speaking at the Jewish Children's Museum's annual dinner in 2008.

Let's go to the videotape.

It was hard to get through the video.My daughter and son in law, who live in Brooklyn, are planning on taking my 2 1/2 year old grandson to the Museum.

I could not believe it was 15 years since Ari Halberstam HY"D was murdered.

Thanks for the hat tip.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
