Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker is back doing what comes most natural, leading Congregation Beth Israel in a Shabbat service, to mark the weekly sabbath.
The FBI Dallas field office on Friday confirmed that Malik Faisal Akram, 44, died, “as a result of deadly force employed by the FBI” moments after the hostages escaped.
“At this time we pray for healing of mind body and spirit for the four of us, our whole congregation – for our whole community,” Cytron-Walker said. “I’ve just been through something really traumatic. I’ve just been through a life-threatening situation,” Cytron-Walker said. “And it gives the community an opportunity to respond back ‘we hear you, we know this, we understand’.”
