Wounded rabbi pleads for people to stand up to anti-Semitism by filling temples as the first Shabbat services since Poway synagogue attack approaches.
Answering the call of a rabbi wounded in the shooting at a Southern California synagogue, scores of people have been filling temples coast to coast to stand up to anti-Semitism and more are planning to do so as the first Shabbat services since the attack approaches.
"I say to all Americans, no matter what religion you are, we're here in America because God gave us a country that allows us to have religious freedom," Goldstein said."God gives us constitutional rights to be here and to be proud Jews and we're not going to let anyone take it away from us. And this is what we're going to take away from this."
"My first reaction when I heard the news in California, was once again I was thrown back to Pittsburgh," she said."There's a prayer service at the end of Passover that memorializes people who have died. And we had just spent a very emotional morning thinking about, praying for my mother-in-law and the other 10 that had died. So to have this happen again on that day was absolutely devastating. ... I cannot believe this is happening again.
Responding to Goldstein's call to fill temples, congregants packed the Beth Menachem Chabad of Newton, Massachusetts, Monday night for a special prayer service for a 60-year-old victim who died in the California shooting, Lori Kaye, and survivors of the attack. "We should not be afraid," Tammy Gillies, regional director of the ADL of San Diego, told the crowd."We're coming together against hate."
“The world must step up to stamp out anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim hatred, persecution of Christians and all other forms of racism, xenophobia, discrimination and incitement,” Guterres said in the statement.
