Rabbi Arié Engelberg and his 9-year-old son were victims of an antisemitic attack in Orléans, France, on March 22. The rabbi was insulted, physically assaulted, and bitten by a 16-year-old assailant while returning from the synagogue.

Passersby intervened, and the suspect was later arrested.

The attack, partially captured on video, has sparked outrage and highlighted growing concerns about antisemitism in the region.

Rabbi Engelberg expressed determination to continue practicing his faith openly despite the incident.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the attack, which has been classified as a hate crime.
