Show Up for Shabbat: A Year Later
In Atlanta, several synagogues are welcoming community members into their sanctuaries on the anniversary of the shooting in Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue.
Following the murder of 11 innocent Jews at prayer at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue last October, millions of people of all faiths rallied around American Jewish Committee’s #ShowUpForShabbat initiative, packing synagogues in what became the largest-ever expression of solidarity with the American Jewish community.
On the one-year anniversary, AJC is again calling on all people of good conscience to #ShowUpForShabbat this weekend, said Dov Wilker, regional director of AJT Atlanta.
“Invite your friends and family from all faith backgrounds to come together to honor the victims and raise our collective voice for a world free of anti-Semitism, hate and bigotry,” he said.
