Chabad attack suspect had previously sought ‘spiritual guidance’ from rabbi
['Hannah Feuer']
The Forward
Rabbi Levi Azimov, who leads Chabad of South Brunswick in New Jersey, said Sohail attended a Purim service at Chabad in March of last year.
Sohail visited there twice more seeking spiritual guidance, Azimov told the Forward, though he did not express interest in converting to Judaism.
Azimov added that the suspect had also visited Chabad headquarters a few weeks ago and participated in a service there.
Teitz, who was not there at the time, said Sohail began “yelling and screaming” and ranting about Chabad afterward.
The incident took place on the 75th anniversary of the date that Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson became the leader of the Lubavitch movement.
