New Zealand mosque shooting reminds Pittsburgh Jewish community of recent heartache. 'It’s actual heartache that people have so much hate for who you are. That they hate everyone you know — people who are wonderful people,' a Pittsburgh Jewish teen said.
Members of the Pittsburgh Jewish community on Friday relived the trauma of that late-October shooting when a gunman — described as a"right-wing extremist" —The suspect accused of carrying out the attack in New Zealand appeared to have shared a manifesto before the shooting that detailed a white-supremacist worldview that seemed to parallel that of the man who is suspected of killing 11 worshipers in Pittsburgh — a similarity that did not go unnoticed.
The massacre in New Zealand is the first mass shooting at a house of worship since the Tree of Life congregation was targeted. Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, who leads the Tree of Life synagogue, said he and his congregation are still coming to terms with another attack on a religious group and house of worship.Hours before Friday night services, Myers said he had scrapped his sermon in light of the latest news.
"We can’t let fear encompass our deep abiding faith because we then let those who terrorize us win and that can never ever happen," Myers said."We draw strength from each other. That’s the value of community to remind us that we don’t pray alone — we celebrate together."
