Josef Neumann, 72, died on Sunday night, the Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council said in a tweet. With great sadness we mourn the passing of Josef Neuman at the age of 72, who succumbed to injuries sustained during the #MonseyStabbing while celebrating Chanukah on December 28th. “We were hoping when he started to open his eyes,” the rabbi told The Journal News on Sunday night. The Hanukkah attack came amid a string of violence that has alarmed Jews in the region. Thomas was indicted on federal hate crime charges as well as state charges, including attempted murder.
