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.

      I honestly don’t blame them when they’ve been surrounded by countries and a religion that has literally been trying to genocide them from the holy lands for the past 50 years.

      When violently backed in a corner people will act like animals. This applies to both sides.

        It’s closer to 75 years total, and yeah, it’s pretty difficult to blame the completely overwhelmed underdog for reacting viciously to their land being occupied, civilians being arbitrarily executed and schools and hospitals getting bombed for generations.
