ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY — There is backlash from one woman's comments at a Rockville Centre village meeting. Rabbi Mendel Gurkov of the Chabad of Rockville Centre lives in the home that was singled out by Michelle Zangari. Gurkov has a large menorah on the lawn and Zangari was concerned it was a small synagogue, starting a trend as she recalled from when she lived in the Five Towns. Gurkov said he received an apologetic note from Zangari and understood her comments were anti-Semitic, CBS2 reported. The rabbi was expected to meet with Mayor Francis Murray on Tuesday.
