Jewish teachers at troubled NYC high school receive threatening antisemitic email
Teachers at a Brooklyn high school were victims of another troubling antisemitic act Tuesday when they received a disturbing email calling for the extermination of Jewish people.
The threatening message was sent from an address called “killalljewsnow” to history teacher Danielle Kaminsky and another colleague at Origins HS in Sheepshead Bay — which, as exposed by The Post, has been plagued by shocking displays of antisemitism carried out by students.
“All Jews need to be exterminated. Their doors kicked in in the middle of the night. A bullet put in each of their heads,” read part of the email, which was obtained by The Post.
“Jews deserve no sympathy. They are the enemy of all mankind and there is no reconciling that,” it concluded.
Kaminsky — who’s been the target of antisemitic threats in the past — was called out by name in the sickening email.
The history teacher told The Post she contacted police in Nassau County, where she and her husband live, after receiving the encrypted email.
“I am very fearful,” she said, adding that police are taking the incident “very seriously.”
“I have security now 24/7 because of online threats and antisemitic comments,” she said.
The security firm she hired is monitoring social media and comments on articles mentioning Origin HS, she said.
“A lot of people are refusing to speak up,” she continued. “I have to live in fear for reporting the truth.”
The Post has reached out to the Department of Education for comment.
The NYPD confirmed that it is aware of the incident.
The email comes days after The Post reported on the Sheepshead Bay high school that has been rocked by reports of antisemitism and racism on campus, including one student who allegedly donned a Hitler mustache while chanting “Death to Israel” in the halls.
Students at the high school told The Post on Monday that the string of antisemitic incidents stems from just a “handful of students.”
Two students claimed the unruly group allegedly targets anyone who crosses their path.
“They’re just racist,” a freshman student said. “They walk around in groups. You don’t want to mess with them.”
Kobi Nachman, a 52-year-old Jewish man whose 14-year-old son attends the school, told The Post that the teen had been harassed about his religion several times.
“There’s a lot of racism,” Nachman said. “Since he came to this school [the other students] keep saying to him, ‘Hamas, Hamas, Hamas.’ They said to my son that he’s a Jew bastard.”
Origin’s Campus manager Michael Beaudry told The Post that he’d witnessed the antisemitism firsthand — and claimed administrators were retaliating against him for it.
Beaudry, who’s worked in the school for nine years, has already hired an attorney and declined to speak about specifics.
First Deputy Schools Chancellor Dan Weisberg denied reports of widespread antisemitism on campus on Tuesday.
“The cause of combating antisemitism is not served by people exaggerating or putting out false claims,” Weisberg told CBS in a statement. “There were incidents at this school where students said inappropriate things to teachers. The principal reacted decisively. Students were disciplined.”
Mayor Eric Adams blamed the incidents on kids seeing hate on social media.
“We have to continue to find ways to do better in this environment,” Adams said.
