Stronger Than Hate – Buffalo Stands with Pittsburgh

We grieve and stand in solidarity with the victims and their families.

The shooting on Shabbat morning (October 27, 2018) at Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA was a direct attack on the Jewish community, motivated by hatred. The anti-Semitism and xenophobia that fueled these violent acts have no place in our society.
