At approximately 9 pm Monday an unidentified object was shot at the entrance to the Lubavitch Yeshiva Gedolah in Miami, shattering the glass door.
A student was standing at the entrance to the lobby, a few feet from the door of the building at 1140 Alton Road, at the time.
He relates that he heard what sounded like a gunshot, and then the glass door shattered.
He immediately ran inside and alerted the other students, who were learning in the main study hall.
911 was immediately called.
Noone was injured and the police are currently investigating the incident, saying they do not believe it was anti-semitic, but rather a random act.
Rabbi Bentzion Korf, executive director of the Yeshiva, told COLlive that he believes this should be categorized as a hate crime; that it may have been anti-semitic in nature.
“If G-d forbid the shooting would have occured earlier, it could have caused many injuries,” said one shaken student to COLlive. “The building also houses the Mesivta and part of the Elementary school, and a Shul.”
At this time, the police said they have no suspects.
Who didn’t proceed with the grant? Do you still have all the paperwork? Yes, surely now they would get it.

I go to school there.
The school actually has probaly a dozen or more cameras they only realized afterwards that this specific camera did not work.
i’m in that school and i saw it the next morning!
Yigal & Robert were outside the whole time they didn’t notice anything going on I trust them they are responsible adults.
gam zu litova!
everything is for the good!
looks like the bochrim are enjoying the action!
My son tells me it was a rock. Why would you sensationalize this and scare us parents that way?
moty you manejd to get yurself in evry pictcher

There WAS a Homeland Security Grant & in fact, my company was asked to see if we could write it for different Mosdos, including some from Florida. Unfortunately, they didn’t proceed.
B”H, no one was hurt, but knowing the Yeshiva I can see how they would qualify, especially now. My recommendation: don’t wait for a grant, invest in security measures before chas v’sholom something terrible happens.
btw it was kristelnacht last night
A MUST
#5 “Parents should be notified” Im not sure you noticed that in every picture a bochur is holding a phone.
They are not babies and know how to get in touch with thier parents when they need to.
for those of us who have children in yeshivas in Fla, this is not humorous or to be minimized….this is rather dangerous and i happened to open this site and then saw this!my child is in another yeshiva but it is not something i want to see first thing.
May you all get a life!!!
thats y there was the same “shot” marble! @ the bank down the block that most belong to jews to??? shot or marble???
story’s grow beards
a fl. resident
Eli just because ur upset at Nossen doesn’t mean you should throw things threw the door!!!!
In real life!
This yeshiva as well as all chabad moisdes need to invest in security cameras and a 24 hour security guard.
With all that is happening around the world, especialy after mumbai it should be the #1 priority to physically secure our safety.
I am sure there should be some kind of homeland security grant or people would sponser
First of all was it a bullet or an unnidentified objoct? Did the police say nothing? no bullet was found? what exactly happened?
Secondly what is a baby doing at the scene of a (potential) gun-crime???

Parents who have kids in Miami yeshiva should of been notified rather than finding about this on COL.
Please keep us informed…
