Jewish Pittsburgh in Pictures
We mourn for the tragic murder of eleven Jews at prayer at the Tree of Life congregation in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh. There is more to discuss in the coming weeks and months, but today instead of words we offer images. This brief collection of photos, curated from the Rauh Jewish History Program & Archives, highlights the deep history of this vibrant community.
