Shul security and the rabbis with guns | The Jewish ChronicleShul security and the rabbis with guns
hey call themselves The International Security Coalition of Clergy.
But you can think of them as The God Squad — armed rabbis and priests ready to leap from the bimah, or the pulpit, to tackle and kill terrorists.
The coalition is led by Rabbi Gary Moscowitz, 52, a fast-talking martial arts instructor and former New York police officer, who says he can transform the average synagoguegoer into a fighting machine, trained in unarmed combat and weapons.
“Jews are not like Christians,” he says. “If we turn our cheek, we are spinning around to make a kick.”
More advanced combat moves include performing a running somersault while drawing a gun.
Mr Moscowitz, who also passes on his knowledge as a karate black belt, admitted few people took him seriously until police exposed an alleged plot by Muslim converts to blow two synagogues in the Bronx.
New York Rabbis go on armed in New York Synagogue
The self-defence classes are run by the International Security Coalition of Clergy, a group set up by Gary Moscowitz, a Queens rabbi and former police officer.
Practising with toy pistols, fellow rabbis and other worshippers are taught basic techniques such as bringing down an assailant by the neck or using a table as cover from gunfire.
good, when zionists go to support gun control, they spared rabbis who may own guns even in cult places.
Now imagine if you get imams or priests trained in shooting camp, what would the reaction of media?
I fear that NY would be like West Bank
