Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, will deliver remarks at the groundbreaking of the memorial to victims of the 2018 Pittsburgh shooting.
Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, center, Tree of Life congregation and 10/27 survivor, leads an interfaith blessing during the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Tree of Life complex in Pittsburgh, Sunday, June 23, 2024. Second gentleman Douglas Emhoff and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro were among the dignitaries marking the groundbreaking Sunday of a new structure replacing the Tree of Life synagogue, where 11 worshippers were murdered in 2018 in the deadliest act of antisemitism in U.S. history.
“The end of our story is not victimhood, it’s about how we as Jewish people define ourselves and, out of the worst moments, our capacity to be resilient, to get up and to rebuild," said Carole Zawatsky, chief executive officer of the Tree of Life non-profit organization overseeing the project in tandem with the congregation of the same name.Much of the original complex, which had been unused since the shootings, was demolished earlier this year.
Today we announce, loudly and clearly, to the entire world that evil did not win — that it did not chase us from our home, and it never, ever will,” Myers said. The attack claimed the lives of 11 worshippers from Dor Hadash, New Light and Tree of Life congregations, which shared space in the synagogue in Squirrel Hill, the heart of Pittsburgh's Jewish community. Two worshippers and five responding police officers were also injured in the attack.
