The rabbi who founded the Chabad of Poway synagogue that was allegedly targeted Saturday by a 19-year-old gunman described a horrifying but also spiritually uplifting scene during and after the attack, one with tales of heroism against the shooter and unspeakable grief as one of the congregants lay dying on the lobby floor.
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, in a news conference Sunday, delivered a step-by-step recounting of the attack that police say came from a man armed with an assault-style weapon who wrote a manifesto of hate against Jewish people. At least two of Goldstein’s fingers were shot off in the assault.
After the shooter had fled, Goldstein said, he walked into the synagogue’s lobby to find congregant Lori Gilbert Kaye, 60, “laying on the floor unconscious, and her dear husband, Dr. Howard Kaye, who’s like a brother to me, is trying to resuscitate her.”
“And he faints and he’s laying there on the floor next to his wife. And then their daughter Hannah comes out screaming, ‘Daddy and Mommy, what’s going on?!’ It’s the most heart-wrenching sight I could have seen. I was frozen in time,” Goldstein said through tears outside the synagogue.
“I grabbed a prayer shawl; wrapped my arm, my fingers with it, that was just hanging, dangling; I’m bleeding all over the place. My congregation was gathered outside here, and I said I gotta do something. I got up on a chair, right there, and I looked at the congregation,” he said.
“‘We are a Jewish nation that will stand tall! We will not let anyone or anything take us down! Terrorism like this will not take us down!’” he said he told his congregants.
“We just came from Passover at the Seder table; we sang a song … that God has protected us, that in every generation they rise up against us. But God will protect us,” he said.

This Rabbi who lives in the uS declares this is a jewish nation. He must be senile!
Being ‘chosenites’, wherever they reside is ‘their nation’, since the whole world belongs to them anyway.
That’s the impression I get, at any rate.
More ridiculously heroic stories of magical joos, with their words of compassion and healing understanding. It’s shoah-time! B.S.
Just wondering if anyone else here thinks this was just another false flag to ramp up the Noahide crap. And did those who supposedly died actually die? Finally, don’t these Chabaders realize that all they are doing is inciting more awareness of Jewish Supremacy? They claim they are gods and smart as God, but I think they are acting really really stupid. And more and more YouTubers are exposing this apostasy all the time. It isn’t just Know More News and TruNews…even Jewish Christians are fed up (Stephen Ben-Nun’s Israeli News Live channel is definitely anti-Zionist and Christian. Few speak out about the persecution of Palestinian Christians like he and his wife do.)

Here’s a fun little nugget. He’s also the chaplain for the sheriff’s dept. So many things wrong with this “shooting” and all the characters, I ain’t believing a single word of it.
“Terrorism like this will not take us down!’” he said he told his congregants.’
That much is true, it would appear.
It will take REAL shootings to take you scumbags down, not fake ones.
Bored, no one else commenting, guess I’ll check the other news sites.
