A rabbi who was badly wounded in a deadly antisemitic attack at the Chabad of Poway synagogue in Southern California was sentenced on January 4 to 14 months in federal prison for running a multimillion-dollar donation fraud, the Yahoo News website reports today (January 5, 2022).
Yisrael Goldstein,60, also was ordered to pay about $2.8 million in restitution. He pleaded guilty in 2020 to wire and tax fraud.
"I beg for mercy to accept my repentance and allow me to right the wrongs ," Goldsmith told the judge at his sentencing.
