REACHing Out

On October 27, 2018, 11 Jews from three congregations were murdered while worshiping in what was the deadliest antisemitic attack in the United States. In the days after the attack, Pittsburgh came together to loudly oppose antisemitism and hate. The community rallied behind and alongside the three congregations as they began to pick up the pieces and rebuild. Now, in the face of dramatically rising antisemitism, it’s our turn to pick up the baton in pursuit of a world without antisemitism and hate.The Tree of Life is on a mission to uproot antisemitism by remembering those taken from us and building relationships across difference to repair our world. We are creating a new, locally grounded institution with broad national impact and reach. The reimagined Tree of Life is a place that will celebrate Jewish life and tradition and remember each victim and the horror that happened here on this sacred ground. It is a place that educates people of all ages and backgrounds, builds connection, and inspires courageous action to create compassionate communities.Ours is a daunting journey as we gather the pieces of our broken world and rebuild it as we believe it can be. We invite you to join us in cultivating a community where remembrance and reflection meet resilience and resolve.

The Tree of Life

A conversation with families and survivors about the community’s gifts and support

University Club

REACHing out: A conversation with families and survivors about the community’s gifts and support After the October 27, 2018 synagogue shooting, people around the world sent objects of comfort, care, and love to those directly impacted by hate. Join us as family members and survivors share their profound experiences of both antisemitism and solidarity and reflect on what the objects sent to Pittsburgh tell us about the nature of community. This event is hosted in partnership with the Rauh Jewish Archives and REACH, a project of the 10.27 Healing Partnership that supports families and survivors of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting in sharing their stories to remember, educate, and combat hate.  This event is being held at University of Pittsburgh's University Club. Paid parking is available in the Club lot (on Thackeray Ave), Soldiers and Sailors lot, and street parking.
