An Unbelievable Neighborhood Incident
A reader asked that we publish the following:
“My daughter was walking on Severn Road towards Taylor. She heard a commotion, shouts and hollering -behind her. When she turned around she saw a deer charging straight at her with Jewish young men chasing it from behind with their shouts. She knew not to run, but rather to stand still. B”H the deer veered away from her, and the Jewish youngsters continued chasing it. I don’t know if they saw my daughter, as they were focused on the deer. Dangerous!”
Not much to say here. Can you name all of the “aveiros”/ transgressions in this story?
