Rabbi 'overflowing with gratitude' as community rallies around his congregation following hours-long hostage standoff
CNN
Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker's voice quavered Monday night as he described his emotions since he and three others escaped a hostage situation at his synagogue Saturday.
The enormity of the ordeal in Colleyville, Texas -- being held at gunpoint for hours and making a bold but terrifying escape -- is difficult to process, he said, but a wave of support from his community and the others around the world left him optimistic that his congregation will recover.
