Chabad of Mineola, Long Island gathered in solidarity with Chabad of Poway at an event on Wednesday.
“The critical response to the Poway Chabad attack must also include an appeal to members of government on the local, state and federal level,” noted Rabbi Anchelle Perl, the local Chabad director, “as well as media agencies, school teachers, college professors and university leaders, to lead responsibly and take the initiative to uproot the destructive scourge that threatens the core values of this country.”
An in-depth report was given of the inspiring words from Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein throughout this ordeal, and particularly his call to action to respond with defiant strength to be ever prouder of being Jewish, by increasing in Torah and Mitzvos with acts of goodness and kindness.
The lunchtime gathering concluded with everyone making good Mitzvah resolutions in memory of Lori Gilbert Kaye.
