Sunday marked one year of the brutal shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood.
On October 27, 2018, 11 people died in a hate crime against Americans of Jewish descent.
Horror have hurt again the national soul this Sunday, when a man opened fire at an off-campus college party for Texas A&M Universityl-Commerce, causing two people dead and 14 wounded before he escaped in the resulting chaos, reported a police chief on Sunday.
One wound does not finish healing when another is open. It is hard to bear grief when fear takes over.
The first anniversary of the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history was celebrated around the world on Sunday with community service projects, music, and an online remembrance.
The theme of the commemoration was “Remember. Repair. Together.” It included a private Jewish service, the study of the portion of the Torah that was to be read at the time of the shooting, opportunities for community service, and a public memorial service.
