Dear WRJ Pacific District Members:
 
By now most of us have heard the terrible and deeply unsettling news that the Chabad of Poway, CA, experienced a shooting tragedy today even as the celebrations for the closing day of Passover were underway. One woman was killed and three injured, including Rabbi Goldstein. This appears to be a hate crime carried out by a shooter who was motivated by anti-Semitic views. This assault occurred exactly six months to the day from when a gunman opened fire at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.
 
We stand in unity with the Chabad community of Poway, and we remain committed to stand against all such hate crimes. We remind you to stay vigilant in your synagogues and community.
 
We ask as well for all of us to expand efforts in our own communities to form coalitions of those individuals and groups committed to combatting hate crimes and gun violence. 
 
A note of support or condolence may be sent to Congregation Chabad,16934 Chabad Way, Poway CA 92046 or via the Tribute Button to rabbi@chabadpoway.com.
 
Dana Adler, WRJ Pacific District President
