JCRC is aware of a disturbing incident at Santana Row in San Jose in which two Israeli Americans were brutally attacked while speaking Hebrew. After arriving at a restaurant, they were approached by three unknown individuals and punched multiple times, leaving one victim briefly unconscious. Both victims were transported to the emergency room and later released. The San Jose Police Department is investigating the incident as a hate crime. We are in close communication with our partners at Jewish Silicon Valley, as well as local elected officials, law enforcement, and community leaders. We will share additional information as it becomes available.
