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.

    Would that be better? If some Israeli Jew living in the US had been stabbed?

      Why does the better alternative in your world have someone being stabbed?

      A better option to me is nobody gets hurt that isn’t involved in the conflict.

        I think they’re pointing out that it sounds like by saying “she was American, not Israeli” that you think it would have somehow been less awful if she was Israeli.
