Samantha Woll, 40, was the president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue.

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.

      Detroit also has a vibrant and storied Jewish community. Hell, the most prominent Prohibition-era gang in Detroit was a Jewish one.

      Not to say all Muslims want to do violent things; but I believe the logic is that as a Jewish person, one should probably stay as far away from areas heavily populated by Muslim folks who may or may not have a couple brothers, cousins, and uncles who want to stone you to death or some other awful thing… As possible.

      … You didn’t want to say that but you wanted to imply it, apparently – and to imply it so clearly that it’s difficult to imagine you intending anything else.
