NEWSBRIEFS Poway Rabbi Injured in Shooting Sentenced to
14 Months for Fraud
A JUDGE SENTENCED Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein,
who lost a finger in the 2019 antisemitic shooting
attack in Poway, California, to 14 months in prison
for his role in a fraud scheme, JTA reported.

The prosecution and the defense agreed that
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein should receive only home
confinement. “You not only committed this offense yourself,
but you took a lot of people with you,” U.S. District
Court Judge Cynthia Bashant told Goldstein. “It’s
important to send a message to the community, and
it’s important to send a message to you.”
Goldstein pleaded guilty to tax fraud in 2020. His
co-conspirators must pay $2.8 million in restitution.

Under the scheme — which federal agents were inves-
tigating long before the shooting — donors contributed
to Goldstein’s synagogue, then got most of the money
back, enabling the donor to claim a tax deduction.

Goldstein retired from the Chabad synagogue in
November 2019.

Dave Bateman to resign after he sent an email accusing
Jews of planning “genocide” through COVID and its
vaccine, JTA reported.

“Dave agreed and is no longer a member of the
Entrata board, effective immediately,” the company said
in a statement. “To be absolutely clear, we at Entrata
firmly condemn antisemitism in any and all forms.”
Bateman sent an email to associates, including
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and Utah Jazz owner Ryan
Smith, with the subject line “Genocide.” The email
suggested that COVID-19 and its vaccines are the
work of Jews, and that both are “attacking the repro-
ductive systems of women” and eroding natural
immunity. Spain has granted citizenship to 36,000 people, or
about 23% of applicants. Portugal has granted citizen-
ship to 63%, or more than 54,000 people. Thousands
of applications are pending in both countries.

Jon Stewart Calls ‘Harry Potter’ Gremlins
Antisemitic, Then Backtracks
Following a podcast in which he suggested that goblin
characters in the “Harry Potter” series resembled
antisemitic caricatures, Jewish comedian Jon Stewart
posted a follow-up video to Twitter on Jan. 5 saying
that he didn’t mean to accuse series author J.K.

Rowling of antisemitism, JTA reported.

“Let me just say this, super clearly, as clearly as
I can ... I do not think J.K. Rowling is antisemitic,”

In his earlier podcast, Stewart talked about the
