Vice President of the United States Visits Poway Chabad

Vice President, Mike Pence, visited Chabad of Poway along with his wife Karen while on a visit to San Diego California. The Poway Chabad was the site of an attack that took the life of  Lori Kay.

He was met by Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, the Chabad Shliach who was shot as he stood up to the shooter, losing a finger in the process.

In a twitter post, Pence wrote,”Karen & I were honored to stop by the Chabad of Poway, the site of a terrible shooting in April. To Rabbi Goldstein—your faith & courage is an inspiration to the nation. No one should fear in a house of worship. We will always condemn evil acts of antisemitism. We are with you!”
