Chabad-Lubavitch

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the Chabad Lubavitch movement, died in June 1994.

The Chabad headquarters closed for nearly three months during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, but ahead of the High Holy Days, hundreds packed the synagogue for prayer services.

The suspect put the knife down—but then grabbed it again and apparently lunged at police.

The Rebbe's gravesite also receives hundreds of thousands of prayer requests each year via fax and email.
