Even though I vividly recall being called antisemitic names in youth sports and the swastikas that vandalized my Jewish primary school, you do not make the leap to a gunman who would massacre Jews in a synagogue simply for being Jewish.
This October marks the fifth anniversary of the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting at Tree of Life. It was the deadliest antisemitic attack in US history. Hear from American Jews and allies about how the tragedy still impacts their day-to-day life, and why we need to fight antisemitism and all hate to create a safer world.
