A Hebrew-speaking Chabad bochur says he was saved on Wednesday evening from gunshots hitting him, avoiding possible fatal results.
Menachem Lessoff related that he was driving on Atlantic Avenue near Pennsylvania Avenue on his way to Hewlett, Long Island, where he gives a weekly Torah class, when suddenly shots rang out.
“A person shot with a weapon in my direction,” he said. “I saw a man directly facing me from the right side,” he said. “He shot down the person he targeted and a second bullet continued my way.”
The Lessoff was behind the steering wheel when the bullet hit the rim of the car door causing the window to shatter into pieces. He narrowly missed being hit.
“If the bullet would have entered the window, it would have been… G-d forbid,” he said. “It’s a miracle that I am alive.”
Lessoff said that he immediately called the people waiting for the class and told them what happened, and said that next time they see each other they will celebrate the miracle together with a big party.
“I thank G-d for what happened and that I am alive, without even a scratch,” Lessoff said, noting that he will be reciting the blessing of Hagomel in the near future.

Welcome to the “ new” New York
no Baruch Hashem? Say thank you to Hashem, then say what you want to say.
B.H.
In the first video, at 16 seconds; and in the second video, at 44 seconds.
Now ask him for forgiveness, and undo the damage that you caused by your false claim.
I meant the comment above
I feel really bad that you thought that.
Such a miracle!
Moshiach NOW!
To all those who marched at a defund the police march….
Time to leave New York City!!
Obvious. But hard. You will come sooner or later but it will only get harder from here.
I am writing it with crazy noises of fireworks in the background. Animals from one side of us, and the stupid leaders from the other side.
But, we must remember: If an animal is out of the zoo attacking people, the blame will not be on the animal, because it is an animal, and animals are animals. The blame will be on the stupid guard that let the animal out.
Bill de blasio, the blame is on you. What a shame!!!
It’s more like kids with the teacher out of the classroom. Free for all! Let’s not call anyone animals, even if they are acting without reason and in unrestricted ways. That removes responsibility from them and their ability to make good choices and use self control
And it’s a kidush Hashem. May we all take note and watch our racist fearful speach unbecoming a chossid.
And unbecoming a chossid
No one was pointing or referring to a specific race. I even didn’t see which color of skin was the shooter. It was referring to the crimes raising in NY and to the crooked way of handling it from the side of the mayor.
It is sad that you assumed right away that the shooter was from a specific race, and that all the crimes in ny are being done by a specific race, and that being against criminals is being racist.
Crimes and brutality from any race are bad for us, for the city and for humanity.

He concludes שלוחי מצוה אינן ניזוקין
A neiss! Baruch Hashem.
I used to get shot at driving down Rd 5 by kif Al Haris. Now you get shot at driving down Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn.
Hello? Move to Israel.

You shouldn’t be driving in Brooklyn
The Rebbe cited Kennedy (who spearheaded the Peace Corp, where its members travel and live in other countries of the world, in order to help them improve their quality of life) as an example for us to follow. This gave impetus for the mivtsoyim effort to expand all over the world like it did. Now, Rush Limbaugh quoted a lady – she said that there is only way to stop this dangerous trend that will destroy America, and replace with, CH”V, a G-dless regime. That is, for the missionaries, who travel to and live in other countries, to concentrate their… Read more »
Let’s pack our bags. We’ll go together.
Wow, such a big open miracle. B”H!!
Moshiach Now!
