Raphy Nissel said he doesn’t care about punishing the man charged with striking him in the back of the head with a belt buckle and trying to rob him and his wife, Rivka, while they were walking to Young Israel of North Beverly Hills to celebrate Shabbat over the weekend.
The 75-year-old was wearing a yarmulke when he was hit on the morning of Dec. 9. Nissel was bloodied, and also became enraged upon hearing the man who attacked him tell his wife to “give me your earrings, Jew.”
