When news broke that there had been a deadly shooting at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Aiport hours before the Jewish Sabbath Friday, Rabbi Schneur Kaplan rushed to the airport with an offer for those who observe: a place to pray and a place to stay.

“Shabbos is coming but thank God we are safe,” he said in a Facebook Live post from Terminal 1. “We have put out a post if anyone is stranded in the airport and needs a place for Shabbos we are going to meet at the baggage claim in Terminal 1 as soon as they allow us to move around. Right now they are not letting us move anywhere.”

“[I’m] working with the Red Cross to give out water and just to give people hugs and give them strength,” the rabbi said in a Facebook Live video. “Just spoke with a woman who was anxious to get home because she wants to light Shabbos candles, but thank God we are safe and God willing we will be able to clear the airport in a few moments and let us all go home.”
