Learning How to Confront Hate From Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein | Kristina Davis, Mark Platte - a podcast by San Diego Union-Tribune

When asked to reflect on the tragedy that forever changed Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein 39 days ago, he thinks back to advice he received from a spiritual leader as a 17-year-old student of the Jewish faith: the way to push away darkness was with light.

That advice has never been more significant than now, as Goldstein heals from physical wounds to his hands as a result of the shooting at the Poway synagogue he founded, and as he rises to meet a call to action.

“I chose to react in a very specific way,” Goldstein told a packed auditorium at the University of San Diego on Wednesday night.

Rather than leave him paralyzed, the trauma that left him without an index finger, killed a congregant and wounded two others has transformed him.
