Event at Congregation Beth El was hosted by the Tri-County Board of Rabbis, Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey and the Jewish Community Relations Council
More than 1,200 people attended the Community Vigil for Pittsburgh on Oct. 28 at Congregation Beth El in Voorhees to mourn those lost at the Tree of Life synagogue on Oct. 27. The South Jersey Jewish community is shocked and saddened by this senseless act of hatred and anti-Semitism. The Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey thanks its partners, the Tri-County Board of Rabbis and the Jewish Community Relations Council, as well as its host, Congregation Beth El, for helping to bring the community together to support Pittsburgh and show solidarity.
