Detroit synagogue president found fatally stabbed outside her home
Samantha Woll, 40, was the president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue.
A Detroit synagogue president was found fatally stabbed outside her home Saturday morning.
Samantha Woll, 40, led the congregation of Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue. The synagogue confirmed Woll's death Saturday in a statement writing, “We are shocked and saddened to learn of the unexpected death of Samantha Woll, our Board President.”
“May her memory be a blessing,” the statement continued.
Authorities said a 911 call was made to Woll's home early Saturday, reporting an individual lying on the ground unresponsive. Police discovered multiple stab wounds on Woll's body and found a trail of blood leading to her house, where they believe the crime occurred.
An investigation is underway. At this time, the motive for the crime remains unknown.

May her memory be a blessing.
Those who spread lies and disinformation are responsible for this death. The Jew hate needs to stop. This woman was American, not Israeli.
Would that be better? If some Israeli Jew living in the US had been stabbed?
Why does the better alternative in your world have someone being stabbed?
A better option to me is nobody gets hurt that isn't involved in the conflict.
I think they're pointing out that it sounds like by saying "she was American, not Israeli" that you think it would have somehow been less awful if she was Israeli.
Indeed
I believe that person was tying this act to anti-Semitism on the rise worldwide, and drawing attention to the fact that this person has nothing to do with the current crisis.
agreed, was baiting
There is no evidence this was fueled by antisemitism. People get stabbed all the time in american cities and no one bats an eye.
I thought shooting was more of the American thing, but then again they probably just outnumber the stabbings
Stabbings are usually regarded as a crime committed by someone who knew the victim. I believe this was not a hate crime but something done by the mind of either revenge or other assorted modes of emotional violence. I believe this crime has entered the news churn to carry out an agenda.
The stabbing in Chicago is a recent example of a hate crime with a knife. Stabbings are often crimes of passion which would fit the bill for a bigot who's over the edge due to the Hamas propaganda being pushed right now.
The agenda here is your attempt to minimize the Anti Semitism/ Jew hate we're seeing rise in America and abroad. Anyone with half of a brain sees this bigotry a mile away.
Using fear of the unknown as a tactic wil usually herd the sheep. I am not going to scream fire everyone someone strikes a match. Accusing me of bigotry because I am waiting for more proof is also an intimidation tactic to comply.
