Rabbi Moshe Kravitzky has been named as the second victim in the Beersheba stabbing attack.
Kravitzky, whose age is not given, was a married father of four. He lived in Kiryat Malachi, and ran a soup kitchen in Beersheba for a decade as part of his activities with the city’s Chabad Lubavitch community.
He also ran a Chabad center in Beersheba’s Nahal Beka neighborhood, as the movement’s envoy there.

Kravitzky was killed while riding his bike, when terrorist Mohammed Ghalab al-Qian rammed his car into him. The terrorist also stabbed three others to death, and injured two others.
A Chabad representative describes Kravitzky to Kikar HaShabbat as “someone who was all about charity and selfless care.”
“Together with his family, he invested everything in the community – both materially and spiritually. We are in shock and are pained by this sad news,” Beersheba’s head Chabad envoy Zalman Gorelik tells COLlive.
No funeral details are immediately available.
