Wounded, but still healing. Still here.<\/p>\n
Still praying, studying Torah, volunteering on behalf of immigrants and others who are needy, still honoring their beloved martyrs, still doing acts of mercy and devotion.<\/p>\n
At every turn Sunday, the Jewish and wider Pittsburgh community defied a gunman\u2019s contempt as they honored the memory of 11 martyrs a year to the date of the deadly attack on three congregations meeting at the Tree of Life \/ Or L\u2019Simcha synagogue in Squirrel Hill.<\/p>\n
Participants began the day with numerous volunteer activities throughout the Pittsburgh area. Several gathered in the afternoon for a series of Torah study sessions. Throughout the day, a steady stream of people stopped to pay respects at the scene of the synagogue at the intersection of Shady and Wilkins avenues.<\/p>\n
