We continue mourning the 11 lives taken at the Tree of Life Synagogue four years ago. Their memories live on as we work to build a safer future.
Let us also remember today and every day that we have an obligation to reject and condemn antisemitism in our communities.
Quote Tweet
Four years ago, 11 lives were taken and 6 more injured at the Tree of Life Synagogue in the deadliest act of antisemitism in American history.
May the memories of those we lost be a blessing. And may we never stop fighting the scourges of antisemitism, hate, and gun violence.
