The Texas rabbi who was held hostage with three of his congregants for hours at his synagogue Saturday said he’s “grateful to be alive” following the tense standoff.

Cytron-Walker and the others were held captive around 11 a.m. on Sunday during a Shabbat morning service by Malik Faisal Akram — who was shot dead in the ordeal.

I read this and kept shaking my head. "Something's missing," I said to myself. This is what this guy, faced with mortal danger and then making it out of the dangerous situation alive tweeted:

"I am grateful and filled with appreciation for
All of the vigils and prayers and love and support
All of the law enforcement and responders who cared for us
All of the security training who helped save us
I am grateful for my family
I am grateful for the CBI community, the Jewish community, the Human community
I am grateful we made it out
I am grateful to be alive.

NOWHERE do you see this "rabbi" thank the Almighty for saving his pathetic life. This guy, busy marching to support LGBT, busy supporting intermarriage, busy frittering away his time on libtard secular causes which totally violate Jewish law, fails to recognize and acknowledge He who actually folded His hand over him to protect him. Such is Reform "judaism".

Well, he does mention "vigils and prayers," implying that he appreciates their having prayed for the intercession of a Higher Power.

I’ve wondered when someone was going to notice that a Reform rabbi has to be to the Left of Unitarians.
