Brooklyn’s Jewish community is on edge following two “vicious” anti-Semitic attacks in Crown Heights — which unfolded early Wednesday within minutes of each other, according to officials.

“Time for a serious, and possibly, uncomfortable conversation about the face of antisemitism in America,” wrote Chabad Rabbi Motti Seligson on Instagram.

His post was accompanied by surveillance footage showing one of the early morning assaults.

“This happened last night in Crown Heights, not in Charlottesville nor at the hands of White Supremacists,” Seligson said. “I’m told they stole nothing just brutally beat the guy in what is clearly a premeditated attack.”

“They didn’t say anything at all,” Mendel remembered. “Next thing I know, I was on the floor — my yarmulke and glasses in the gutter somewhere.”

Cops have charged two men — Nazar Walters, 18, and Teshon Bannister, 21 — with assault and hate crimes in connection with both incidents. They’re looking for at least one more person who allegedly took part.

“Some 10 people were violently attacked in the last 60 days alone,” said Rabbi Yaacov Behrman, leader of the Crown Heights-based Jewish Future Alliance, in a statement to the Algemeiner Journal. “We ask what is going wrong in Crown Heights, when innocent Jews are being beaten in the streets in 2019? Is there an atmosphere that is encouraging violence or antisemitism? And, an equally important question, where is the public outrage? Indeed, why isn’t this front page headlines?”
