In two interviews Sunday, Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein of the Congregation Chabad synagogue in Poway, California described the shooting that took place at the synagogue on Saturday and Lori Kaye, 60, who was killed.
Kaye, Goldstein said on NBC’s “Today” show, was a “kind soul. Everyone in the community knew her. She was the type of person who was the first one to be everywhere.”
“I pray for healing during this time of pain and grief,” said Goldstein, whose index fingers were both shot Saturday.
On CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” Goldstein told CNN’s Brian Stelter that he was urging fellow Jews “to make an effort to attend synagogue.”
“Let’s fill up the synagogues. Let us show these terrorists, let us show these evil, wicked people, that they will not do anything to hinder us from being proud Jews,” he said. (More of the interview transcript is available here.)
