Brooklyn’s Chabad community responds to California shooting with Unity Sabbath
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein of Poway Chabad House keeps strong bonds with his native Brooklyn
Chabad of Park Slope, responding to the horrific Poway Chabad House shooting on the concluding day of Passover last weekend, will host an Evening of Unity, Solidarity and Prayer at Congregation B’nai Jacob this Friday night.
The shooting at Chabad of Poway synagogue, near San Diego, California, left one woman dead and several injured. Lori Kaye is reported to have been killed while saving the life of Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, spiritual leader of the Poway Chabad synagogue, although he was shot in both hands.
Goldstein maintains strong ties to Brooklyn, where he was born and raised, and where many family members reside.
