With tefilos for the recovery of all who were injured in last week's attack on a Jewish prayer service in Pittsburgh, we mourn the murder of eleven innocent victims of hatred. Targeted and killed simply because they were Jews, each is now a holy martyr of Israel:
Joyce Feinberg, 75.
Richard Gottfried, 65.
Rose Mallinger, 97.
Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz, 66.
Cecil Rosenthal, 59.
David Rosenthal, 54.
Bernice Simon, 84.
Sylvan Simon 86.
Daniel Stein, 71.
Melvin Wax, 88.
Irving Younger, 69.
In their memory, we pray Hashem will grant us aitza tovah (good counsel) about how to safeguard our communities, and that He will help us increase the Torah's light through our thoughts, words, and deeds.
