The Anti-Defamation League responded with shock and horror upon hearing of Rabbi Raksin's death.

"This is a terrible tragedy. While the motivation for this crime is still being investigated, nothing can justify the killing of an innocent man walking to his place of worship to pray on his holy day," the ADL said in a statement.

The organization added that the incident might have been a robbery gone wrong.
