Happening Now: Chabad rabbis and bochurim from Yeshiva Schools of Pittsburgh walked to Cong. Tree of Life. They davened Mincha outside and sang the Jewish song of faith “Ani Ma’amin.” Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto joined them.

Chabad rabbis have been organizing and attending memorials around the country encouraging the public to a “Mitzvah 4 Pittsburgh.”
“In the face of adversity, we look for an opportunity to transform darkness into light,” said Rabbi Herscel Finman to the crowd of mourners who gathered on the front lawn of Jewish Ferndale for a ceremony Sunday afternoon. The ceremony was to honor the lives of eleven people who were murdered Saturday at the Tree of Life Congregation Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA by a gunman who screamed that “all Jews must die,” before riddling the pews with bullets during sabbath.
Those 11 names were read by Federal Judge Mark Goldsmith, “Daniel Stein, Joyce Feinberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, brothers Cecil Rosenthal, and David Rosenthal, husband and wife Bernice Simon and Sylvan Simon, Melvin Wax, and Irving Younger.” The names were met with bowed heads and tears.
