Fox News
Rabbi Brian Strauss with Congregation Beth Yeshurun in Houston, Texas discussed the “frightening” hostage situation at another synagogue in his state, noting that he is now going to “reevaluate everything that we do” and increase security at his place of worship.
"This is a day of rest, a day to thank God for all the good of our life, to be with our friends and family," Strauss told co-hosts Will Cain, Rachel Campos-Duffy, and Pete Hegseth, noting that the day of rest was "disturbed in such a horrifying way" on Saturday.
"Thank God everything worked out for the best, but it’s frightening for all of us that attend places of worship in this great country," he went on to say, referencing the fact that all four hostages at the Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, near Fort Worth, were released without injury.
The hostage-taker, who has been identified as a British citizen, held the hostages for nearly 11 hours Saturday at the Texas synagogue where he could be heard ranting in a live stream and demanding the release of a Pakistani neuroscientist who was convicted of trying to kill U.S. Army officers in Afghanistan.
