[CBI] Our community mourns our Shoah and recent losses......

[CBI main mailing list]

To All:

 

We mourn the baseless hatred that propagates senseless attacks on innocents.


 

Below is part of the statement released by the Chabad/Lubavitch organization
in response to the attack on their congregation in San Diego.  

 

We will meet tomorrow evening to commemorate Yom Hashoah - and remember
those who have died in our own country recently just because they were Jews.

 

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

 

Steven Bayar, Rabbi

Lorna Wallach, Cantor

Mariela Markelis Dybner, President

Harvey M. Brenner, FSA, FTA, Executive Director

"Our hearts are shattered by the cold-blooded attack on our brothers and
sisters-Jews of all walks of life gathered yesterday at Chabad-Lubavitch of
Poway in celebration and prayer to the Almighty on Shabbat and the final day
of Passover.

We offer our immense gratitude to G-d that the full scope of the
perpetrator's evil intent to commit mass murder was miraculously unrealized
when his rifle inexplicably jammed, though tragically not before snuffing
out the life of a most beautiful human being and injuring others.

Indeed, we mourn the holy soul of community trailblazer and activist Lori
Gilbert-Kaye-Leah bat Reuven-who was so cruelly torn from our midst, and
pray that G-d provide strength to her family and that they find solace in
the many people she touched and the myriad activities she set in motion. The
fruits of the immense good she planted on this earth will forever serve as
extensions of her very life. 

We pray for the healing of all the injured, including Rabbi Yisroel
Goldstein-Yisroel ben Chana Priva-who lost his index finger while being shot
at from almost point-blank range and yet instantly ran to protect the
children; 8-year-old Noya bat Eden (Dahan) and her uncle, Almog ben Ruti
(Peretz) visiting from Sderot, Israel, and no stranger to terrorist attacks.


We pray for the healing and comfort of their families, the entire Poway
community, the Jewish people worldwide, and the entire world community-men,
women and children of every type, each created in the image of the
benevolent G-d whose hearts ache from senseless tragedies like these. 

Indeed, we are grateful to live in a country that is predicated on these
values and thus protects our right to live openly and proudly as Jews, and
we value immensely the friendship and outpouring of support from so many of
our fellow Americans. 

We are particularly grateful to those whose brave stand against the shooter
saved additional lives, including the city's police department and all
levels of government from the municipality on upward who have been working
selflessly to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the Jewish community in
Poway and around the country."
