Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, a victim in the Poway shooting in California last Saturday, was invited by President Donald Trump to speak at the National Day of Prayer event at the White House on Thursday.
Rabbi Goldstein spoke to the religious crowd assembled at the White House. He delivered a powerful speech.
Rabbi Goldstein thanked President Trump and called him a “mentsch par excellence.”
Rabbi Goldstein: Let’s bring back a moment of silence to our public school system. I also want to thank the United States of America. I’d like to thank our dear honorable Mr. President for being as they say in Yiddish, a mensch par excellence.
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, Chabad of Poway, speaks at White House #NationalDayofPrayer: "We cannot control what others do, but we can control how we react."
