In the lawsuit, Coral Peretz accuses them of having money in the Chabad House for security and not using it • "Hope - they will do more to protect the residents," said his lawyer

• Coral broke out after the attack

Coral Peretz, a resident of Sderot who became the hero of the Chabad House bombing in Pawi San Diego, after rescuing children, is suing the Jewish institution, claiming that its operators did not use federal funds intended to secure worshipers.

In a lawsuit filed last Friday and published in the Los Angeles Times, Peretz claims that despite the surge in anti-Semitic attacks in the state, the synagogue did not have adequate security and that a $ 150,000 grant was not used to upgrade security measures. "The synagogue violated its reasonable duty of care to protect residents," the lawsuit states.

Last April, on Passover's seventh, anti-Semitic killer John Ernest entered a Chabad house in Pawi San Diego and opened fire on the worshipers at the scene. He murdered Lori Gilbert Kay and wounded three others. Coral Peretz did not hesitate and began extracting children at the scene, including three of his nieces. "I would not forgive myself if I did not save the girls," he told Israel Today after the attack. "I had to do it. If I didn't do it - I'd come out a coward. I'd take it all my life on conscience." While running to save his niece, Peretz was hit in the leg by a bullet: "At the time of the shooting, I felt nothing, only heat in the area where I was hurt, but at the same time I was eager, I jumped from place to place. I didn't notice I was hurt."

The lawsuit filed this weekend alleges that last March, just a month before the attack, the Chawawi Chabad House received $ 150,000 because the synagogue was exposed to "risk of anti-Semitic attack on its worshipers," but court documents show that on the day of the attack, the building's doors were not The suit also includes California Chabad, International Chabad, Killer John Ernest, and a store that sold the killer the weapons he used in the attack.

Attorney Yoni Weinberg, Peretz's lawyer, explained that his client may be caught negatively because he also incorporated the synagogue in the lawsuit, but said everyone responsible for the attack must be included in some way. "If only John Ernest would never change the lawsuits "I hope this pressure will change them to protect their residents, and this will affect other synagogues." Chabad officials did not respond to a request that was emailed to respond to the lawsuit.
