Yaniv Gola, 52, terrorized his victims with hundreds of calls and text messages over a year period in which he threatened to injure, kill, or rape them, their families, and employees.
Orthodox man sentenced to 16 months in prison for antisemitic terror campaign targeting Jewish business owners
Goldberg stopped answering his business phone as Gola’s harassing calls continued. But then, he said Tuesday, Gola began calling his mother and sister, threatening them with rape in menacing messages in which he noted their home addresses. In another — made one month after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and the start of the ongoing siege in Gaza — Gola referenced the conflict in his attempt to instill fear.
Gola was born in Israel, and his family had moved to the United States when he was young. Though he was raised Orthodox, he’d later strayed from the faith only to return to it in recent years, his lawyer, David S. Bahuriak, said.
