Jewish New Yorkers blindsided by Iran’s attack on Israel: ‘I’m scared for my family’
NY Post
Jewish New Yorkers were shocked and outraged by Iran’s missile attack on Israel Saturday, leaving many fearing for their loved ones trapped in the besieged Jewish State.
“Of course, I’m scared for my family and their well-being,” Chaim Goldstein told The Post as he left Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters in Crown Heights.
The Post broke the news of the invasion to dozens of worshippers who had not heard what happened because of Sabbath restrictions.
One man sprinted across the busy Eastern Parkway upon hearing the news so he could check on his family in Israel.
A police presence was stationed outside the synagogue as a precaution.
“I just pray that Hashem should take care of the Jewish people and that the hostages should be allowed to return to their home,” Rabbi David Sholom Pape, 79, told The Post, describing Iran’s attack as a “suicide mission.”
