The rabbi who interfered in the shooting at Chabad synagogue in Poway, California, last week applauded President Trump Thursday during a White House event marking the National Day of Prayer.
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, whose finger was blown off as he attempted to stop the man who opened fire at the synagogue last Saturday, said the president was the first person to help him begin healing after the horrific event.
“You heal people in their worst of times, and I’m so grateful for that,” Goldstein said after Trump invited him to say a few words at the podium.

He then concluded by thanking Trump: “I also want to thank the United States of America. I like to thank our dear honorable Mr. President for being as they say in Yiddish, a mensch [man] par excellence. Mr. President, when you called me I was at home weeping. You were the first person who began my healing. You heal people in their worst of times and I’m so grateful for that.”
