The Last Exile

One of my first entries in the cool chassids category was the story of Yoseph Robinson. He traveled a long road to answer Zion’s call, and its with deep regret that I learned of his death.

CBS News:

NEW YORK (CBS/WCBS/AP) A robbery in Brooklyn Thursday night led to the death Yoseph Robinson, a man whose life led him on a journey from street criminal, to music executive, to a conversion to Orthodox Judaism.
The former hip-hop record executive who converted to Orthodox Judaism, was shot and killed while trying to stop a gunman from taking a woman’s jewelry at a Brooklyn kosher liquor store where he worked.
Police say Robinson was shot in the chest and arm Thursday night at the MB Vineyards liquor store in the Flatbush section of the borough.
