Jerusalem – An Israeli court has ordered a Brooklyn man extradited to the U.S. in connection with an April 2008 assault on a black man.
Yitzchak Shuchat is suspected of beating Andrew Charles in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. The area is known for 1991 race riots between Orthodox Jews and blacks.
Thursday’s extradition order cites a U.S. request over the 2008 attack, alleging an unidentified man on a bicycle sprayed Charles with mace while Shuchat stepped out of an SUV, struck Charles with a wooden club and drove off.
Shuchat fled to Canada, then to Israel in May 2008. He was indicted in the U.S. on hate crime and other charges.
Police suspected the attack followed reports that black youths had pelted neighborhood homes with rocks.
Shuchat belonged to a Jewish street patrol group, the Shmira.
ever since sholom mordechai rubashkin was sentenced to 27!! years in prison for what, bottom line, amounts to inflating his income when applying for a bank loan, (that’s 27 years, not weeks or months!!), I don’t trust the judicial system, especially not the jury system. often these folks are not a group of “peers” but a group of undereducated, small-minded people who vote with their hearts, not with their heads.Der Aibershter mooz rachmones hubbn…
YISROEL! .. BETACH BIHASHEM
I’m chas vesholom not advocating anything. No one is aloud to take the law into his/her own hands!!!
I just came across this video/story of how Reb Yitzchock dealt with a (potential) Moiser…

Why is it ok for a ‘son of a cop’ to throw stones at children?
I am shocked by some of the comments that are written here. Who is anyone to judge and say that Yitzi deserves and should get punished for what he did. Did you ever hear the saying”Don’t judge someone untill you are in their shoes.” The true story is that this black youth was harrassing and throwing rocks at Jews = anti-semitism and so Yittzi who was part of Shmira went and hurt him, i wouldn’t say that he beat him up. Now because this guy is the son of a cop, this case is getting dealt with so harshly, however… Read more »
Yisroel, if you’re reading this i just want to let you know there are many people here for you, ready to help at all costs! Dont let any of this negativity bring you down!!
Hakadosh boruch hu looks out for those who do good.
P.S Hype it up brother!!
Yes, it is absurd. Instead of Shomrim and Shmira fighting crime, they are fighting each other like lehavdil the Crips and the Bloods. Needless to say, that is not what Lubavitchers should be doing.
Someone needs to get BOTH patrols to shed their hotheads, and make sure that the remaining members band into one patrol to fight crime and deal with the cops properly.
Yitzchak Shuchat is an absolute wonderful person. He always has a kind word to give someone, a smile to brighten up your day, and always ready to lend a hand.
Hashem WILL NOT allow any harm to come to him! He is the nicest person i know.
We should all say tehillim for this wonderful man,
יצחק ישראל בן רחל
this is how it is- you hurt someone, and then they are punished, good! jew or not, everyone is responsible for their actions!
so if you dont know the full story who is everyone to be commenting n sticking up for him etc…
the lack of ahavas yisroel in c. h!
good news is i was delighted to read an anti bullying /ahavas yisroel campaign letter coming this week from OT. lets start with the kids and the elders will hopefully catch on!
a greatful parent.
Can we have his full name and mothers name to say Tehillim,also please remember people he is a Yatom who suffered through the loss of his very young father to a deblitating disease,Lets just say tehillim
The extradition order is being appealed. I really hope for the sake of the shechunah of Crown Heights, the Israeli high court judges will see that extraditing him is a very foolish move that will only increase antisemitism. He has been punished enough for his “crime.”
ummm #49, why are you saying that when the issue is clearly that we really do not know much about the truth of all this. daven for the emes
Moshiach now!!
Ummm, ye good for him!! i hate the fact that shmira/shomrim think they can just go around bossing ppl around n hurting them. they are not police n should be treated w the fair concequence as any other human being for assaulting someone.
This is exactly why we hare all these problems in Crown Heights. There are people with real grivences and nobody knows how to stop and be the last one and just give it up. He felt he was massered on and therefore had to leave. He then WRONGLY tried to “get them back”. This CYCLE has been going on for years in Crown Heights and I try to stay far away from it, but it seeps out in public and effects people in real ways. I can agree that Yizi was no Tzaddik, he was a hurt, great, human being… Read more »
You’re a sick person!
After he left, he stupidly harassed a member of the CH community. That in itself is a crime, and he was a moiser as well, which is ossur. His harassment caused his victim financial loss. Once he was out, he should have kept quiet. Now, let justice prevail.
i am number 8
lol crownheighters….
I will take what you say at that. Please understand, where I live people robbed the goverment and say…they have enough or the goyim do it why not a yid. i hear of ppl embezeling and ppl collecting money to free them when they played with all of our future social securities. I know the laws are different for horrific monsters, but what are we teaching our kids. I would let my child get burned but i would show him how hot it is, so that he does not do it. I thank you for your polite responses and thank… Read more »
Kudos to # 35 Rebbitizen Faigy Jacobson Is a TRUE & OLD & TRUSTED FRIEND of the Shuchat Mishpocha. A close friend of Mrs. Rachel Shuchat, the wife of Reb Shmuel obm, the mother of Yitzie. Thank you for your warm & true & praises of Yitzie & Shuchat family. Warmest Regards AH GUTEN SHABOSS.
I am number 38, I read what you said in number 8 (including the word if) and what you said in 34). Even IF he did do it, which I am not contesting, I think we have to stand behind him. You say you want to teach your children that there is consequences. If your child was playing with matches would you leave him there to get burned, g-d forbid. Think of Yizi as your child. He played with matches, are you going to let him get burned? He is a wonder Yid and we should support each other like… Read more »
Where can we donate to get this guy the best lawyer?
I agree with you 100%. To apologize it would mean I said something. i said IF. I am not comparing him to a molester, I said b/c ppl dont speak up, molester stay free and hurt other children. All of those who freaked out at my comment, is b/c they did not read it. I rewrote that if he didnt do it, then I think he should be freed. I am not here to ruffle everyones feathers but I do stand behind the comment that if one does bad and hurt others, it will come back to bite you. I… Read more »
Please note that this all happened shortly after Yitzy lost his father OB”M. He was a broken boy who went through his father’s suffering. We must talk on his behalf and not judge him. He grew up and Changed a lot since. Also, you can’t trust the media 100% not even 50%. many times they write things the way they would like it to be. The African American had a past record and throw rocks. I hope Yitzi will get a great public lawyer.
You just cant help digging yourself deeper. “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” —Abraham Lincoln Comparing him (even if he did mace/hit) to a molester is like comparing bankers to Hitler. Are you Mario Batali by any chance? (or Bloomberg comparing forgetting to move your car to killing your parents). I cant blame you for your horrible comparison, even some very prominent people make bad comparisons. But they also apologize once they think about (or see others reaction). With my insult aside. I do hear where you are coming… Read more »
I am not so sure you understand the ramifications of what you are advocating. #1 the case of a pedophile is quite different. In those cases you must report to the proper authorities – to protect innocent children from terrible harm. But in this or similar cases it is ASUR to maser!!! Do you understand what it means to be charge of hitting a COP’s child??? Do you know what it means for a yid to stand trial by a jury who are all goim predominantly black? Are you so sure that the motto of “Tzedek Tzedek Tirdof” is what… Read more »
What a touching note. I answer a loud, resounding AMEN to your best wishes to Mr. Shuchat and his family. May Hashem protect them and this nightmare end quickly.
Am Yisrael Chai
Yitzi’s support and chizuk that he gave me when my son Shloimy was in such critical condition pulled me through. Yitzy stood behind me the whole time in the hospital, calming me down by telling me Shloimy will make it and everything will be fine. May Hashem pull him out of his crisis very fast and return him to his wife and child. Rachel, I’m here for you.You are my dearest friend in the world. We will both see the yeshuos of our sons speedily !.Amen!
If you all read what I wrote, it was clear. If he didnt do it, then justice should prevail. The problem you all have is that you save pedophiles from jail and then they end up like Kletsky’s killer. The abuser stays out of jail just because he is a jew? I agree with you that if he was protecting someone then he should be spared, but according to what is written up there he maced the kid. I cant add what is not there.
“A hate crime is a legal category used to described bias-motivated violence: “assault, injury, and murder on the basis of certain personal characteristics: different appearance, different color, different nationality, different language, different religion.” It’s pretty clear that he didn’t do this because he saw an African-American sitting somewhere.
I believe one of the Simanim of a Yid is “rachmonim”.
There is a story in Nac”h, where Dovid Hamelech declared an entire group unsuitable to join the rest of the Jewish nation (mary, etc.), because they exhibited character traits that was not consistant “rachmonus”….
I fear that this has much more to do with Sinas Chinam then anti-Semitism. This man was turned in by (frum???) yiden in this community. I’m sure Goyim enjoy it also, but this was instigated by our….
He’s really a great guy!!!
BAAGOLAH!!!!
If a black person throws stones at a Jewish man, woman or child they should and will receive a ‘response’.
yes true find out the whole story let the private investigator tell u all not only what u fancy hearing. and hay the 311 calls are on tape. if ur so concerned find out am sure u will know who will play the tape for u
He’s a Tzaddik…, and his family are great people!
whatever… if you ever hurt your child you too should be punished!!!
he helped many people with lots of ahavas yisroel!
This is a dispicable set up! Hashem Yishmor
in that case, I”YH by you and yours
When thugs beat the living daylights out of an innocent Jew they get away with it. But if a Shmira member hits someone who gets in his face he has to face hell? what has the world come too?
wow! Your title and comment is quite strong although it is based on an “if”. Perhaps, “if he did this to protect our fellow brothers, I hope he is acquitted” AND PERHAPS your children should learn “don’t let yourself or people around get hurt, fight back” “Look this guy fought back even it meant he is going to get into trouble”
When has a black person who has assaulted anyone – not in self defense, not in order to protect a community – been extradited from anywhere? As if the US would ever or has ever made an attempt to ‘extradite’ any criminal even from another Borough – who has hurt any Jew in Crown Heights. What this is is an attempt to blatantly convey that the there is a Double Standard for Jews. I sincerely hope this will not stop anyone in the community from defending themselves to the utmost.
Who hired you to be the judge, jury and executioner. And this from a fellow Jew. Feh.
Yitzie is such a Tzadik, I know him my whole life, he was always involved in chesed, I was once hospitalized and without even calling him I woke up in the morning and saw yitzie there, he heard I was in the hospital and right away came to offer any help, in israel he was bringing meals to people in hospitals. Shame on some jews that because of selfish motives they can do such a terrible thing to such a special soul, yes it was yidden that pushed for his extradition and massered anything they knew. We need to start… Read more »
I am not sure why this website posted this story but now that its here let me just tell everyone that nobody will win from this except for the satan the alleged black victim won’t gain anything from this the city has and will continue to waste our tax payer money Yitz will be found inocent in the end but will CH”V go through geheniom till that happens and to the people in Crown Heights whom are secretly happy in his suffering just note your lives won’t get even a drop better any temporary gain you think your going to… Read more »
you dont know what you are saying… bc he was trying to protect our neigborhood from the thugs who were throwing rocks!!! so instead of always having something negative to say maybe have some hakaros hatov to those people giving up of themselves to protect us!!! we need moshiach now!!
If there wasnt so much hate within our own community than this wouldn’t of happened.
when one group hates another so much that there willing to spend time and money to have the other one sit in jail. if you dont know what im talking about than find out the WHOLE story….
ill give you a hint there was a private investigator sent to find him and it wasnt the cops that hired him
this came after blacks were throwing rocks at them
Funny how Israel just released thousands of terrorists with blood on their hands for one Jewish soldier, but is now handing over a Jew to be railroaded with no hope of a fair trial. I fear for his life.
Pay for it? How? Kill a Jew and you go free: Nelson was acquitted of murder on October 29, 1992. Teach your children that justice in america is not blind, its stupid. What you should really teach your children here is that if they do something wrong, which we all do at times, you should stay and face the music. Teach our children that “he should pay for what he did?” No! Teach them that he did pay for what he did. We Jews are in exile for our sinas chinam, he has been in “exile” in Israel for the… Read more »
to #8 : i very rarely respond but to you i feel the need to respond if you read the article you would know this was not an attack on someone it was a defense the kids were throwing rocks at women and jewish homes he simply defended us and is now facing charges for it. i wonder if it were your kid or even you he was defending would you still say he should pay.
to #4 you said it perfectly!
Until you become G-d, stop deciding who deserves to be punished. Who do you think you are to judge this cae? Do you have the facts? As a fellow Jew, just hope that this soul should not go through any more pain, and that we should all be free of pain with Moshiach now!
On a side note, I happen to know him and he has long since mended his ways. He is truly a baal teshuva and deserves to be completely exonerated. Please remember him in your tehillim.
But don’t let anyone think that Yitz didn’t do daily mitzvos – tons of them – related to Shmira. The blacks fear Shmira and Shmira is doing a community service beyond the letter of the law.
The story quoted here is from the Associated Press,the truth is Charles started up and if he wasnt the son of an NYPD cop nobody would have even heard of this.
If he really did hurt that black man, he should pay for it. Our children need to know thatif we don’t want to be hurt, we shouldn’t hurt
SHMIRA IS THE BEST!
its amazing how people with blood on their hand can run away and live a normal life while someone who just hits someone on the head runs away and we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to bring him back to sit in jail for 2 days. !! obviously there is more to this store and it starts with the machlokos in crown heights
how many more young people will die before people wake up!!
🙁
Yitzi is a man with a heart of gold. I know of many people that he helped raise money for funerals and was instramental in getting some people jewish funerals. He did a tramendus amout of bikur cholim, arranged for vists and minyanim to the sick, and continued it in Israel. He would go with the few shekels he had and buy bread and tuna to give to the sick. What is alleged that he did to that “black youth” he because of his love for his fellows. It is shame that he ran from the original charges, but an… Read more »
Please everyone should Daven for him… he needs your help and prayers!!!!!
wats the true story
So sad. Feel bad for him and his family. Hashem should help them.
