Artworks by children around the world installed at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue
An art installation consisting of works submitted by children from around the world was unveiled at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh.
“#Hearts Together: The Art of Rebuilding” features 101 works of art printed on canvas that are wrapped around the synagogue building in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood.
Among those who submitted the art were children from Columbine, Colorado; Newtown, Connecticut; and Parkland, Florida — all sites of mass shootings. The works were selected by members of the three congregations that were meeting at Tree of Life when a gunman killed 11 worshippers there last October.
Since the shooting, the synagogue building has been surrounded by blue tarp. The scene was depressing to synagogue members and neighbors, who wanted something more uplifting and cheerful.
