As we are all devastated by this morning's massacre at Tree of Life Congregation, my heart and my prayers are especially lifted up for our Jewish sisters and brothers and the law enforcement officers who rushed into harm's way. The relationship between Tree of Life and the Diocese of Pittsburgh has been close over many years.
