The rabbi was struck and killed on Monday in a tragic hit-and-run accident when the driver of a livery cab reversed out of a parking spot and struck him multiple times while he was standing near the crosswalk on Empire Boulevard and Balfour Place. Rabbi Rapp was waiting for a ride to the synagogue at the time of his demise.
