People of the Pod: AJC Remembers The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting at Tree of Life
Five years have passed since the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history: 11 congregants were gunned down during morning prayers at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue.
American Jewish Committee (AJC) – the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people – has launched an award-winning podcast series exploring how the horrific shooting affected the Jewish community in Pittsburgh, the U.S., and around the world. We take listeners behind the scenes of how the Pittsburgh Jewish community continues to rebuild and honor the lives lost on October 27, 2018.
The anniversary comes during the same month as the most lethal attack on Jews since the Holocaust: Hamas' October 7 massacre of Israelis. Rising antisemitism has led to the murder of Jews around the world, from Pittsburgh, to Paris, to Israel. All forms of antisemitism must be countered to ensure a safe and secure Jewish future.
