This weekend, a man armed with three pistols and a semiautomatic assault-style rifle attacked The Tree of Life Congregation synagogue in Pittsburgh - the deadliest attack on Jews in the history of the United States. Our prayers go out to the victims and their families.
The victims are:
Joyce Feinberg, 75 Richard Gottfried, 65 Rose Mallinger, 97 Jerry Rabinowitz, 66 Cecil Rosenthal, 59 David Rosenthal, 54 Bernice Simon, 84 Sylvan Simon, 86 Daniel Stein, 71 Melvin Wax, 88 Irving Younger, 69

Hatred will not win! We stand with our Jewish sisters and brothers. An attack on them is an an attack on us. When one finger hurts, the whole hand hurts. The Islamic Speakers Bureau of Atlanta would like to stress the importance of solidarity and unity for all Americans. The ISB plans to continue to build bridges of understanding with people of all faiths and no faith. To request one of our presentations or workshops, please click here.
