 EZGeography - Crown Heights riots
The motorist was part of a motorcade accompanying the last rebbe of Lubavitch, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson from a visit to the grave–side and site of his father–in-law and previous rebbe Rabbi Joseph Isaac Schneersohn, which added to the drama of the events.
Rabbi Shneerson was very outspoken in his criticism of the police and city inaction as the riots unfolded.
A non–Jewish motorist who had apparently gotten lost in the neighborhood, Anthony Graziosi, was also fatally attacked, presumably because he had a full beard and was wearing dark clothing and was thus mistaken for a Hasidic Jew.

The pinnacle of Hebron's holiday came on Tuesday, when thousands celebrated the dedication of Beit Menachem, a new apartment building in the Admot Yishai-Tel Rumeida neighborhood.
I began this commentary with the dedication of Beit Menachem in Admot Yishai.
One of themes repeated by several of the speakers was from Psalms 118:22, "Even ma'asu habonim, haita l'rosh pina," which means, "The stone the builders rejected became the cornerstone." This verse can be interpreted representing many different events, but I think today its significance is clear.
