Nachi Gordon sits down with Dr. Moshe Glick, a dentist, Hatzalah volunteer and longtime pro-Israel activist from West Orange, New Jersey. On November 13, 2024, an anti-Israel mob marched on an event at Congregation Ohr Torah, and after yelling for police who never came, Moshe stepped in with the small flashlight in his hand to stop a man choking his 64-year-old friend David on the shul lawn. Weeks later, he got the call in a Jerusalem hotel room: four criminal charges, including a bias crime, and up to 10 years in prison.
Moshe takes us through being fingerprinted and mugshotted, the deal everyone begged him to take and why he refused to admit guilt, two grand jury indictments, the Department of Justice's first-ever FACE Act case to protect a house of worship, and the pardon that came on Governor Phil Murphy's last morning in office. He also shares why he's now going on the offense with David's Sling, the moments he calls hugs from Hashem along the way, and his message for anyone going through a crisis of their own.
