The second Tree of Life shooting commemoration will bring people together in an age of separation
A global pandemic isn’t keeping the Pittsburgh Jewish community from coming together for a virtual commemoration to honor the victims of the Tree of Life Synagogue massacre.
The event on Oct. 27 marks two years since the mass shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania claimed the lives of 11 people, the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history.
All three congregations who worshipped at Tree of Life Synagogue — Congregation Dor Hadash, New Light Congregation and Tree of Life* Or L’Simcha Congregation— lost members in the massacre.
The virtual event, which will be accessible to anyone with a WiFi connection, was organized by survivors, families of victims, and the three congregations, in collaboration with the 10.27 Healing Partnership, an organization created to aid in the Tree of Life and Pittsburgh Jewish communities’ healing process in the aftermath of the shooting.
