Shabbat Shalom

In less than two weeks, our Pittsburgh Jewish community will mark four years since the horrible antisemitic attack at the Tree of Life Building in Squirrel Hill. It’s hard to believe four years have passed since that unfathomable day when eleven of our community members lives were lost and two others were shot. I know […]

I cannot possible adequately encapsulate all within one Shabbat message. All I can express is how much I was influenced by the experience of the past week.

Jewish communities must make the often difficult decisions to look to their future while always remembering and honoring their past.

This most recent clash demonstrated the Iron Dome’s 96% effective rate in intercepting rockets and preventing casualties.

These reasons and so many more are why we strive to raise more every year.

While we must continue to remember our history, including horrible moments, we must always look to our destination.

We are working to create unity in our Jewish community, NOT uniformity.

One of my most favorite evenings in the Pittsburgh Jewish community is coming up in just two weeks.
