Eight years ago, 11 people were murdered in the Pittsburgh Tree of Life shooting. The gunman hated Jews & hated our commitment to welcoming the stranger.
We refuse to let hate win. We honor the 11 victims by working for a world where all can pray, gather & welcome others safely.
More than 65,000 Israelis living abroad are estimated to be flying home to vote in tomorrow's election. That means taking time off work and school to travel thousands of miles across the world to be heard.
Democracy is worth the journey. 🇮🇱
