She was the victim of a 'disgusting' antisemitic assault. A year later, she's angrier than ever

JL;DR SUMMARY Tilda Roll shares her experience of an antisemitic attack outside her synagogue and discusses her ongoing anxiety even after the attacker, Kenneth Gobin, was sentenced to 12 months in prison. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
