In November 1990 , Kahane gave a speech to an audience of mostly Orthodox Jews from Brooklyn , where he warned American Jews to immigrate to Israel before it was " too late " . As a crowd gathered around Kahane in the second-floor lecture hall in Midtown Manhattan 's New York Marriott East Side , Kahane was assassinated by El Sayyid Nosair , an Egyptian-born U.S. citizen who had trained in Pakistan . He was initially charged and acquitted of the murder . Nosair was later convicted of the murder in U.S. District Court for his involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing . Prosecutors were able to try Nosair again for the murder because the federal indictment included the killing as part of the alleged terrorist conspiracy . He was sentenced to life imprisonment and later made a confession to federal agents
