An Israeli flag was stolen from Rabbi Jak Rubin's North Dallas home, adding to the ongoing tension between Israeli and Palestinian communities. Last week, surveillance footage showed a man, wearing a Middle Eastern headdress, removing the flag and shouting "long live free Palestine" in Arabic, says DOJLife.com.
Rabbi Jak Rubin, director at the Dallas Area Torah Association (OLAMI), was alerted to the incident by his home surveillance system. He became aware of the theft after viewing the recorded footage, reports NBC DFW.
OLAMI Dallas is a community for young Jewish professionals that aims to enrich their knowledge and experiences of their faith, states their website. The theft of the Israeli flag from the Rabbi's home has increased worry among community members, regarding its potential connection to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
