She said she was taken aback by sentimental comments Goldstein made in court about his close relationship with her family.
"I believe that was an exploitive and manipulative tactic used as a way to elevate his victim status," she said.
Avergoon also helped Goldstein recruit donors for the "90/10" fraud, as well as apply for mortgages and a construction loan on false claims. In turn, Goldstein falsely certified that Avergoon and his associates completed community service hours at Chabad as part of a court order.
Avergoon was sentenced by the same judge Monday to more than five years in prison for the schemes and an unrelated $12-million real estate Ponzi scheme in which investors thought they were buying into rental property.
To prepare for sentencing, Goldstein took the unusual step of producing a documentary-like video to submit to the court to tell his side of the story.
He dates his criminal actions to around 2010, when many ofChabad of Poway's major philanthropists had either moved away or died, and the full weight of the administration of the synagogue and its organizations fell on his shoulders. He said he was triggered by memories of the financial struggles of his boyhood as the ninth of 10 children in Brooklyn, and of the lean early days planting the synagogue in northern San Diego County.
The fraud started small as a salve to the rising anxiety that he was battling about his ability to support himself and his growing family, he said.
"I have fallen prey and worshiped the Golden Calf of money," Goldstein wrote to the judge in a letter, referring to an Old Testament idol. "I have let myself down and everything that I have taught, and everything that I have preached for 40 years, and allowed myself to be seduced to a very dark place, allowing the power of money to get the better part of my soul."
However, the investigation found thatsome of Goldstein's schemes date back as early as the 1980s, including a long-running conspiracy to help at least one man shield from taxes more than $2 million in fake donations.
Goldstein is accused ofhelping his own brother in New York also hide $700,000 in income by depositing money in Chabad bank accounts, with the then-rabbi getting a cut. Mendel Goldstein has pleaded guilty and will be sentenced next month.

Rabbi who was shot in Poway synagogue attack is sentenced to prison for fraud
By Kristina Davis
San Diego Union-Tribune
Jan. 5, 2022 4 AM PT
SAN DIEGO -
The founding rabbi of a Poway synagogue who rose to national prominence after being wounded in an antisemitic shooting, andwas then exposed as the perpetrator of multimillion-dollar fraud schemes,was sentenced Tuesday to 14 months in prison.
In a rare agreement under even rarer circumstances, both prosecutors and defense attorneys had recommended home confinement rather than time behind bars for Yisroel Goldstein. They cited his leadership in the weeks following the 2019 attack on Chabad of Poway, the immense physical and emotional trauma the former rabbi continues to battle, and his cooperation in the FBI's fraud investigation.
But the judge rejected that punishment as not appropriate given the severity of the crimes.
"You not only committed this offense yourself but you took a lot of people with you," U.S. District Judge Cynthia Bashant told Goldstein, 60.
"I think it's important to send a message to the community, and I think it's important to send a message to you," she added.
Goldstein must also pay about $2.8 million in restitution, an amount shared with several other defendants who were prosecuted as participants in the financial cons.

The rabbi who had part of his hand shot off in a deadly attack at his Southern California synagogue pleaded guilty Tuesday, July 14, 2020, to federal charges of tax and wire fraud, according to a newspaper report. Rabbi Goldstein, 58, acknowledged his role in a scheme in which donors made large contributions to Chabad of Poway but then secretly got most of the money back, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

He must self-surrender by Feb. 23, although he could appeal for a later date if COVID-19 continues to surge. The judge agreed to recommend he be housed at a medium-security federal prison in Otisville, N.Y., which his defense attorney said is known to accommodate observant Jews.
As a rabbi in the Chabad movement- which practices Orthodox Judaism but is also known for its welcoming nature - Goldstein counted on the generosity of his congregation for his salary. He found other ways to supplement his income.
The FBI says Goldstein had his hand in a number of fraudulent schemes exploiting tax loopholes, corporate benevolence and government grant assistance.
Prosecutors said he personally earned at least $620,000 from the conspiracies.
The most prevalent of the schemes is known as the "90/10" fraud. Donors regularly made large charitable contributions to Chabad of Poway or one of its affiliated nonprofits, to be written off their taxes. But instead of the money going to the organizations, Goldstein secretly funneled 90% of it back to the donor, keeping 10% for himself. One donor got his donation returned in the form of $1 million in gold, prosecutors said.
At least a dozen people took Goldstein up on the tax-evasion scheme, resulting in at least $1.5 million in tax losses to the Internal Revenue Service, according to prosecutors.
In one variation on the scheme, donors would solicit their companies for matching charitable contributions. Goldstein would then return all of the original amount to the donor while keeping the corporation's matching funds. The corporations were given fraudulent donation receipts, and many took the tax deductions.
At least three Fortune 500 companies - Qualcomm, Johnson & Johnson and Northrop Grumman - were defrauded out of nearly $145,000 total.
In deciding the sentence, the judge said she was struck by the number of people whom Goldstein dragged down with him.
"Many of the individuals thought when they were committing their offense to benefit Chabad, the academy or synagogue or the organization in general, when in fact it was really just to benefit you," Bashant said. "It was for your personal benefit and your own greed, and I can't ignore that fact."

Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, former director at Chabad of Poway, was sentenced in federal court today to fourteen months in custody for his years-long, multi-million-dollar schemes to defraud the Internal Revenue Service, several San Diego Fortune 500 companies, and multiple public and private agencies. He was also ordered to pay restitution totaling $2,834,608.
According to his plea agreement, while Rabbi Goldstein was director of the Poway synagogue, he received at least $6.2 million in phony contributions to the Chabad and affiliated charities and secretly refunded up to 90 percent of the donations to the "donors." After Rabbi Goldstein provided these donors with fake receipts, they illegally claimed huge tax deductions for these nonexistent donations, and the rabbi kept about 10 percent - more than half a million dollars over the course of the fraud - for himself. Tax losses to the IRS were more than $1.5 million.

Elliot Adler, an attorney and founding partner of a boutique San Diego law firm, was sentenced in federal court today to one year and one day in custody for conspiring with former Chabad of Poway Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein to commit tax fraud. He was also ordered to pay a $20,000 fine.
Beginning at least as early as 2010 and continuing through October 2018, Adler participated in a so-called "90/10" tax scheme with Rabbi Goldstein. Specifically, Adler gave money to Rabbi Goldstein that purported to be a donation to Chabad of Poway. Goldstein then secretly funneled ninety percent of the funds back to Adler, keeping ten percent of the funds as his fee. None of the donated funds was actually given to the Chabad as a charitable donation. Adler then falsely claimed that the fraudulent donations were tax-deductible on his tax returns, allowing him to reduce his personal income tax liability by approximately $500,000 (cumulatively) for tax years 2011 through 2017.

San Diego Attorney Admits to Conspiring to Commit $500,000 of Tax Fraud with Former Chabad of Poway Rabbi Goldstein
SAN DIEGO - Elliot Adler, an attorney and founding partner of a boutique San Diego law firm, pleaded guilty in federal court today to conspiring with former Chabad of Poway Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein to commit tax fraud.
According to his plea agreement, Adler admitted that beginning at least as early as 2010 and continuing through October 2018, he participated in a so-called "90/10" tax scheme with Rabbi Goldstein. Specifically, Adler gave money to Rabbi Goldstein that purported to be a donation to Chabad of Poway. Goldstein then secretly funneled ninety percent of the funds back to Adler, keeping ten percent of the funds as his fee. None of the donated funds was actually given to the Chabad as a charitable donation.
Adler then falsely claimed that the fraudulent donations were tax-deductible on his tax returns, allowing him to reduce his personal income tax liability by approximately $500,000 (cumulatively) for tax years 2011 through 2017.
To accomplish the scheme, Adler and Goldstein communicated using coded language. Goldstein would refer to cash as "challah," the source of the cash as "the baker," and would invite co-conspirators to "wrap tefillin" when he proposed meeting to receive checks or deliver cash. For example, on Thursday, January 7, 2016, Goldstein texted Adler, "Good morning I got the challah[.] What time?" That same day, Adler replied via text message, "Monday morning 8am at shul or today before 12pm if you can come to my office." Goldstein then replied, "Monday @8 is fine." On Monday, January 11, 2016, Goldstein deposited a check from Adler for $30,000 payable to Chabad of Poway.
On or about December 29, 2017, Goldstein deposited two sequentially numbered checks from Adler, one for $180,000 and the other for $980,000. On Friday, January 5, 2018, Goldstein sent Adler a coded text message proposing that they "get together and wrap teffilin." A few days later, on January 10, 2018, Goldstein wired approximately $1million to a wholesale and retail jeweler to purchase 246 Suisse Fortuna 1 oz. rectangular gold ingots, 246 Canadian Maple Leaf 1 oz. gold coins, and 246 American Eagle 1 oz. gold coins. On January 17, 2018, Goldstein sent another coded message to Adler asking him, "[w]hen can you come [i]n for a teffilin wrap? I'm ready for you." Goldstein delivered the gold to Adler the next day. Adler nonetheless claimed on his 2017 tax returns that he had donated over $1 million to charity, fraudulently reducing his 2017 tax liability by approximately $447,000.

Escondido Businessman Sentenced For Tax Evasion Scheme With Former Chabad of Poway Rabbi
Assistant U. S. Attorneys Michelle L. Wasserman (619) 546-8431 and Valerie H. Chu (619) 546-6750
NEWS RELEASE SUMMARY - June 14, 2021
SAN DIEGO -Stuart Weinstock, an Escondido businessman and former owner of Salsa Market in Vista, was sentenced in federal court today to eight months in custody for evading over $180,000 in taxes as part of an eight-year tax-evasion scheme with former Chabad of Poway Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein.
At today's hearing, U.S. District Judge Cynthia A. Bashant told the defendant: "It's important to send the message: 'You commit tax fraud, you go to jail.'"
Until around 2018, Rabbi Goldstein was the director and head rabbi at Chabad of Poway, a tax-exempt religious organization. Weinstock pleaded guilty in February 2021, admitting that starting in approximately 2010, he met monthly with Goldstein to give him purported donation checks for the Chabad, generally about $8,000 a month. Goldstein would then funnel back 75 percent of the funds, or generally about $6,000 to Weinstock, keeping the remaining 25 percent of the funds for himself.
Between 2010 and 2018, Weinstock gave over $870,000 in fraudulent donations to the Chabad, of which over $650,000 was funneled back to him in cash. Although Weinstock knew that he had received back, in cash, the vast majority of his donations, he nonetheless falsely claimed on his tax returns that the checks to the Chabad were either tax-deductible charitable contributions or legitimate business expenses.
In July 2020, Rabbi Goldstein pleaded guilty to fraud charges, admitting that he participated in a complex, years-long, multi-million dollar tax evasion scheme and other financial deceptions involving theft of public money. Rabbi Goldstein's plea agreement outlined the tax evasion scheme with Weinstock.
"Stuart Weinstock has cheated the system and evaded paying his fair share of taxes," said Acting U.S. Attorney Randy S. Grossman. "Those who cheat the system by exploiting the tax-exempt status of non-profits and religious organizations will be held to account for their conduct." Grossman praised prosecutors Michelle Wasserman and Valerie Chu and FBI and IRS agents for their excellent work on this case.

Rabbi injured in Poway synagogue shooting pleads guilty to tax fraud charge
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein gained worldwide fame after the attack on Chabad of Poway in April 2019
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, who one year ago had part of his hand shot off in a lethal attack by a gunman at the Poway synagogue he founded and received an outpouring of support that included meeting President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty to federal charges of tax fraud and wire fraud Tuesday.
Goldstein, 58, pleaded guilty to his role in several long-running, multimillion-dollar schemes involving tax, real estate, insurance and grant frauds, some of which stretched back to the 1980s. Omar Meisel, the acting head of the FBI in San Diego, said the investigation uncovered $18 million in "complex financial schemes" by Goldstein and co-defendants, with the rabbi "at the center of illegal activity" that went on for years.
One such scheme, known as the "90-10" fraud, had donors make large contributions to Chabad of Poway but then secretly get most of the money back. Typically, Goldstein would keep 10 percent - then funnel the remaining 90 percent back to the donor, according to a charging document unsealed in San Diego federal court Tuesday.
With a charitable giving receipt on Chabad letterhead, the donor could then claim a large charitable contribution on their taxes, though he or she had only put out a fraction of the claimed amount. The conspiracy netted at least $6.2 million in fraudulent donations from 12 taxpayers, resulting in tax losses to the IRS of at least $1.5 million, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors say the charitable tax scheme was only one part of a more widespread effort to use the synagogue and its many connected nonprofits to illicitly raise funds and hide money, according to court documents. Goldstein personally benefited by pocketing $620,000 over the years. Prosecutors said the congregation did not benefit from the years of illegal activity by Goldstein.

Rabbi hurt in California synagogue shooting admits fraud
SAN DIEGO (AP) - The longtime leader of a Southern California synagogue who was wounded in a deadly attack at the house of worship he founded pleaded guilty Tuesday to participating in a multimillion-dollar fraud that disguised charitable contributions for personal gain.
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison for fraud but prosecutors will recommend probation as part of a plea agreement. They noted his cooperation with investigators after federal agents raided his home and office in October 2018 and his widely praised response to the attack on the Chabad of Poway synagogue in April 2019. obert Brewer, the U.S. attorney in San Diego, said it was "a very difficult day for all of us."
"His role after the 2019 terrorist attack was exemplary," Brewer said at a news conference. "He became a significant advocate for peace and elimination of violence based on religious hatred. He spoke all over the world and sent a strong message of peace."
Goldstein, 58, lost his right index finger in the attack on the last day of Passover, which killed one congregant, Lori Gilbert-Kaye, and injured the rabbi and two others. The rabbi received an outpouring of support that included meeting President Donald Trump at the White House.
John T. Earnest, 20, has been charged in the attack in state and federal court. He has pleaded not guilty to hate crime-related murder, attempted murder and other charges.
Goldstein, who founded Chabad of Poway near San Diego in 1986, collected $6.2 million in fake donations to the synagogue and affiliates and returned 90% to contributors with phony receipts, allowing them to deduct the full amount from their taxes, prosecutors said. Goldstein kept the remaining 10%, or $620,000, for himself.

Rabbi hurt in California synagogue shooting admits tax fraud
SAN DIEGO - A rabbi who had part of his hand shot off in a deadly attack at his Southern California synagogue pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal charges of tax and wire fraud, according to a newspaper report.
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, 58, acknowledged his role in a scheme in which donors made large contributions to Chabad of Poway but then secretly got most of the money back, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Typically the synagogue would keep a portion of the contribution - perhaps 10% - then funnel the remaining 90% back to the donor, the newspaper said.
Authorities said the donor could then claim a large charitable contribution on their taxes, despite having only put out a fraction of the claimed amount.
Neither Goldstein nor his attorneys made any comments to a Union-Tribune reporter after the hearing in U.S. District Court in San Diego. At least five other people are expected to plead guilty in connection with the case.
The investigation into Chabad of Poway started more than 18 months ago. The newspaper said authorities served a search warrant on the synagogue on Oct. 17, 2018 - almost six months before a gunman burst into a Passover service and opened fire.
One congregant, Lori Gilbert-Kaye, was killed and three others were injured. Among them was Goldstein, who lost his right index finger
The rabbi received an outpouring of support that included meeting President Donald Trump at the White House.
John Earnest, 20, has been charged in the attack both in state and federal court. He has pleaded not guilty to hate crime-related murder, attempted murder and other charges.
In November, citing exhaustion, Goldstein retired from the leadership of Chabad of Poway. One of his sons now leads the congregation.

this seems like it might be important. Poway synagogue where shooting happened received government grant for security.
POWAY, Calif. - A gunman fired his semi-automatic rifle at Jewish worshippers after walking through a Southern California synagogue's open front door, a spot that synagogue leaders determined last year needed improved security.
The Chabad of Poway synagogue applied for a federal grant to install gates and more secure doors to better protect that area. The $150,000 was approved in September but only got awarded in late March.
"Obviously we did not have a chance to start using the funds yet," Rabbi Simcha Backman told The Associated Press.
Backman, who oversees security grants for the 207 Chabad institutions across California, declined to provide details on the planned security enhancements or to speculate whether they might have changed the outcome of Saturday's attack.
The shooter killed a woman and wounded an 8-year-old girl, her uncle and Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, who was leading the service on the last day of Passover, a major Jewish holiday.
Backman said the synagogue north of San Diego is considering asking authorities to allow some of the money be used to hire security guards.
The synagogue doesn't have guards now. But after a gunman massacred 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last October, rabbis of California's Chabad organization, including at the Poway synagogue, began asking members who were trained law enforcement professionals to carry their weapons at services, Backman said.
The congregation also received training from the city of Poway on responding to an active shooter, and Goldstein applied for a concealed carry permit.
On Saturday, an off-duty Border Patrol agent who attends the synagogue fired at the gunman as he fled, hitting his vehicle. The 19-year-old suspect, John T. Earnest, has pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted murder charges.
The Poway synagogue was built two decades ago with security features such as video surveillance, but it started to beef up its measures in 2010. The synagogue received and spent money from a $75,000 grant that records show was earmarked for a security assessment, 16 cameras, fencing and lighting.
The synagogue applied for another grant in May 2018 to upgrade those cameras and add other enhancements. It was approved in September, but the funds weren't released until March 22.

The rabbi who interfered in the shooting at Chabad synagogue in Poway, California, last week applauded President Trump Thursday during a White House event marking the National Day of Prayer.
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, whose finger was blown off as he attempted to stop the man who opened fire at the synagogue last Saturday, said the president was the first person to help him begin healing after the horrific event.
"You heal people in their worst of times, and I'm so grateful for that," Goldstein said after Trump invited him to say a few words at the podium.
"I faced evil and the worst darkness of all time right in our own house of worship - right at Chabad Poway," he said. "I faced him, and I had to make a decision. Do I run and hide? Or do I stand tall and fight and protect all those that are there? We cannot control what others do, but we can control how we react."
"It was that moment that I made a decision, no matter what happens to me, I am going to save as many people as possible," he added. "I should have been dead by now, based on the rule of statistics. I was in the line of fire, bullets flying all the way. My fingers got blown off but I did not stop."
Goldstein said he hopes the shooting will result in public school's bringing back a moment of silence "so that children from early childhood on could recognize that there is more good to the world, that they are valuable, that there is accountability and every human being is created in God's image."

Shooting Victim Rabbi Yisroel Chabad Speaks at WH Day of Prayer, Calls Trump: "A Mentsch Par Excellence"
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, a victim in the Poway shooting in California last Saturday, was invited by President Donald Trump to speak at the National Day of Prayer event at the White House on Thursday.
Rabbi Goldstein spoke to the religious crowd assembled at the White House. He delivered a powerful speech.
Rabbi Goldstein thanked President Trump and called him a "mentsch par excellence."
Rabbi Goldstein: Let's bring back a moment of silence to our public school system. I also want to thank the United States of America. I'd like to thank our dear honorable Mr. President for being as they say in Yiddish, a mentsch par excellence.

Q Research General #8134: We Will Fight On To GLORIOUS VICTORY! Edition
Panic from Zionist Shapiro's Daily Wire
HAMMER: Jews Simply Must Arm Themselves. Now.
According to a 2005 American Jewish Committee (AJC) study, American Jews are among the least likely of all American demographic groups to arm themselves: "Only 13 percent of Jewish households contain firearms (vs. 41 percent for non-Jews)," AJC reported, "and just 10 percent of Jews personally own a gun (vs. 26 percent for non-Jews)." Similarly, according to a 2018 AJC survey of American Jewish opinion, a whopping 70% of American Jews believe that gun control is more important than protecting the rights of gun owners - compared to a mere 25% of Jews who believe the opposite is true.
This is misinformed, historically illiterate nonsense of the highest order, as I explained last month and as a younger, rather well-coiffed Ben Shapiro once explained to then-CNN host Piers Morgan (see video below).
The time has come where American Jews - who, despite an increasingly far-Left, "anti-Zionist," pro-Islamist, anti-capitalism, anti-religious liberty bent, still overwhelmingly support the Corbyn-ized Democratic Party - simply must arm and defend themselves. Indeed, that time is now long overdue.
Saturday's fateful shooting at the Chabad of Poway, California came on the last day of Passover and six months to the day after the massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. The Tree of Life tragedy was the bloodiest attack on a Jewish institution in American history. The Chabad shooting had all the potential to be just as horrific, were it not for the remarkably brave actions of an armed off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent - an agent, eerily enough, who was carrying his weapon in shul at the direct request of Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein for a dire situation precisely such as this.
The two synagogue shootings over the last six months have not occurred in a vacuum. Indeed, in many heavily Jewish areas such as Brooklyn, there has been a chronic increase in the rate of anti-Semitic incidents over the past couple of years. Shamefully, the same national "paper of record" that consistently buried Holocaust coverage during World War II and which recently published a vilely anti-Semitic political cartoon straight out of Der Stürmer has also transparently explained that it refuses to properly cover rising anti-Semitism for overtly political reasons. Overall, 2017 FBI hate crime statistics show that Jews - who comprise less than 2% of the total U.S. population - account for an unfathomable 58.1% of all religiously based hate crimes; anti-Muslim hate crimes, which are the second-most frequent variety, account for a relatively paltry 18.6%.
But despite these deeply worrisome trends and eye-gouging statistics, many Jewish institutions in America remain soft targets. True, many shuls and Jewish Community Centers do have armed security - but many do not. And as a pure statistical matter, Jews are less likely to own guns - and to be packing heat while attending religious services - than are our Christian brethren.

His father, Yossi, who died in 2013, helped build the Chabad sect in Crown Heights and was a key lieutenant of much-revered Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
"Uncle Yossi" was an educator and administrator for decades at several Jewish schools in New York. He and his wife moved to Poway after retiring to be near their rabbi son
"Uncle Yossi" sounds like a pedo.

Synagogue shooting suspect believed to have acted alone, San Diego sheriff says
POWAY, Calif. (Reuters) - A 19-year-old man accused of opening fire on Sabbath worshippers in a deadly shooting rampage at a Southern California synagogue is believed to have acted alone, without help from any organized group, authorities said on Sunday.
Police say the gunman walked into the suburban San Diego synagogue late on Saturday morning, the last day of the week-long Jewish holiday of Passover, and killed one woman and wounded three other people inside, using an assault-style rifle.
According to authorities, the suspect, John Earnest, then fled in a car before calling police to hand himself in.
"We believe he acted alone and without outside support in carrying out the attack," San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said in a statement.
The suspect, who is also under investigation for a mosque arson, has been booked into custody on one count of murder in the first degree and three counts of attempted murder in the first degree, Gore said.
At an emotional news conference on Sunday, Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein choked back tears as he spoke of the slain victim, Lori Kaye, whom he had known for 25 years.
"She was a pioneer member from our congregation," he said, his left arm in a sling and his right hand bandaged. "Lori had unconditional love for all."
Goldstein had surgery at a hospital after his right index finger was blown away by the gunman. He recounted how after he saw the carnage, he grabbed a prayer shawl, wrapped it around his bloody hands and addressed the congregation.
"We are a Jewish nation that will stand tall, we will not let anyone or anything take us down - terrorism like this will not take us down," Goldstein said he told the worshippers.
The other two wounded in the attack on the Congregation Chabad temple in the town of Poway, about 23 miles (37 km) north of San Diego, were an 8-year-old Israeli girl and her uncle. Their family had moved to the United States in search of a safer life after their home in Sderot on the Gaza border was hit several times by Palestinian rocket attacks.
The sheriff said they were struck by shrapnel but were "doing well" at a hospital.
Goldstein said U.S. President Donald Trump had called him to offer condolences on behalf of the American people.
MOSQUE FIRE INVESTIGATED
After the shooting, the suspect fled in a car, escaping an off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent who shot at the getaway vehicle but missed the suspect. The suspect pulled over and surrendered to police officers a short time later.
The teenage suspect, who had no prior criminal record, is the apparent author of a "manifesto" who claimed to have set a nearby mosque on fire last month and professed drawing inspiration from the gunman who killed nearly 50 people at two mosques in New Zealand.
Gore said on Saturday that the police and FBI were investigating Earnest's possible involvement in the March 24 pre-dawn arson fire at the Islamic Center of Escondido, a town about 15 miles (24 km) north of Poway. No one was hurt at the mosque fire.

Rabbi recalls coming face-to-face with shooter at California synagogue
POWAY, Calif. (Reuters) - A 19-year-old man who authorities said gave himself up to police shortly after carrying out a deadly shooting in a Southern California synagogue filled with Sabbath worshippers is also under investigation for a mosque arson.
The gunman walked into the suburban San Diego synagogue late Saturday morning, the last day of the week-long Jewish holiday of Passover, and opened fire with an assault-style rifle, killing one woman inside and wounding three others, including the rabbi, authorities said.
In an interview on Sunday with NBC's "Today" program, Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein described the attack.
"I was face-to-face with this murderer, terrorist, who was holding a rifle and looking straight at me," Goldstein said. "As soon as he saw me, he started to shoot toward me. My fingers got blown away."
Goldstein said the woman killed was Lori Kaye, a founding member of the three-decade-old congregation.
"Just a kind soul," said Goldstein, who underwent surgery at the hospital. "Everyone in the community knew her."
A woman who said she was a friend of Kaye, Audrey Jacobs, wrote on Facebook that Kaye left behind a husband and a 22-year-old daughter.
"Lori would have wanted all of us to stand up to hate," Jacobs wrote. "She was a warrior of love and she will be missed."
The other two wounded were an 8-year-old Israeli girl and her uncle. Their family had moved to the United States in search of a safer life after their home in Sderot on the Gaza border was hit several times by Palestinian rocket attacks.
The sheriff said they were struck by shrapnel but were "doing well" at a local hospital.
After the shooting, the suspect fled in a car, escaping an off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent who shot at the getaway vehicle but missed the suspect. The suspect pulled over and surrendered to police officers a short time later.
The suspect was identified as John Earnest, 19, of San Diego, the apparent author of a "manifesto" who claimed to have set a nearby mosque on fire last month and professed drawing inspiration from the gunman who killed nearly 50 people at two mosques in New Zealand.
San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said police and FBI were investigating Earnest's possible involvement in the March 24 pre-dawn arson fire at the Islamic Center of Escondido, a town about 15 miles (24 km) north of Poway. No one was hurt at the mosque fire.
Gore said Earnest has no prior criminal record.
Saturday's gun violence at the Congregation Chabad temple in the town of Poway, California, about 23 miles (37 km) north of downtown San Diego, unfolded six months to the day after 11 worshippers were killed and six others wounded by a gunman who stormed the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh yelling, "All Jews must die."
The assailant in that massacre, said to be the deadliest attack ever against Jews on U.S. soil, was also arrested.
The Passover violence came amid an upsurge in reports of anti-Semitism nationwide and abroad and followed a recent spate of deadly attacks on places of worship around the world.
Suicide bombings during Easter Sunday services at several churches in Sri Lanka killed more than 250 people. A gunman who opened fire at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, on March 15 left 49 people dead and more than 40 wounded, some as they knelt in prayer.

Synagogue Shooter Also Under Investigation For Attempted Mosque Arson
After bragging in his alleged manifesto about attempting to burn down a mosque in Escondido, Calif. late last month, San Diego sheriff Bill Gore confirmed late Saturday evening that 19-year-old John Earnest, the suspect in a shooting at a Poway, Calif. synagogue, is also under investigation for attempted arson at a nearby mosque.
Update #9 @SDSheriff Gore: We are serving search warrants for the suspect's home, car and the Chabad of Poway. We are also working with @FBISanDiego, @ATFHQ & @EscondidoPolice to check John Earnest's possible involvement in the arson and vandalism of mosque in @Escondido_CA.
- San Diego Sheriff (@SDSheriff) April 28, 2019
As we reported yesterday, there was an early morning arson at a nearby Mosque in Escondido, California on March 24 which remains unsolved. While several people were sleeping inside, one person who was awake spotted the flames and managed to put out the fire. In his manifesto, Earnest claimed inspiration from Brenton Tarrant, the man who killed nearly 50 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Gore said that Earnest is not known to have any previous criminal record. The sheriff added that apart from going through the trail of digital evidence left by the attacker, police will also search his car and residence. The mosque was defaced with spray-painted graffiti making reference to the New Zealand attack.
As for Earnest's purported manifesto, Gore acknowledged that police have been combing through the suspect's social media posts and an "open letter" he allegedly wrote in the run-up to the attack, but said that officers have yet to prove the authenticity of the purported evidence.
Saturday's attack on the Congregation Chabad temple in Poway, a suburb of San Diego about 23 miles north of downtown, occurred exactly six months to the day after 11 worshippers were killed, and six others wounded, by a gunman who stormed the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh yelling "All Jews must die." Saturday's attack left one dead and three injured after the shooter was forced to flee by an off-duty border-patrol agent who fired back.
Lori Kaye, the congregant who was killed during the attack, reportedly jumped between the shooter and the rabbi, Yisroel Goldstein, after he suffered a defensive wound to his right hand. Kaye had reportedly attended the ceremony to say a Kaddish prayer for her mother, who had died in November, per CNN.
Kaye, 60, was shot at the synagogue and died at a nearby hospital.
The assailant in that massacre, said to be the deadliest attack ever against Jews on American soil, was also arrested. San Diego County Sheriff's Department officials issued a statement saying Earnest was believed to have acted alone and that there "are no known threats to religious gatherings."
Meanwhile, President Trump has condemned the attacks, after the shooter's alleged manifesto included a Q&A where he allegedly denounced Trump as a "Zionist, Jew-loving, anti-white, traitorous cocksucker".
An outpouring of condemnation has been directed at the New York Times and Rep. Ilhan Omar, the former of which published a cartoon just a day before Saturday's attack that was widely denounced as anti-semitic.
