Summary: On April 27th, a gunman stormed the Chabad of Poway synagogue in Poway, Calif., in a San Diego suburb, where 100 worshipers were gathered. One woman, 60-year-old Lori Gilbert-Kaye, was killed, and three people were injured. One congregant was able to charge the gunman and force him out of the synagogue. The 19-year-old alleged shooter was inspired by white supremacy and posted an anti-Semitic manifesto on the internet hours before the shooting. The attack took place at the end of Passover, which is meant to be a celebratory time for Jews. Offerings of support have been flooding in for all of those affected, as the government grapples with how to stop the increase in anti-Semitic violence.
