Recently, a tragic event took place that made a huge impact on the Jewish community. A gunman came in a synagogue and shot 11 people dead and injured 6 (not counting the gunman here). It was classified as the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the United States.

This event was an act of pure evil. One has to wonder what was going on their minds and what happened in their lives to make them want to commit such a horrible act and take so many innocent lives.

Not to mention this took place during a baby naming ceremony. Can you imagine having to explain to your kid when they are older what happened on that day they were named?

What we need to do right now is be there for our Jewish friends and the community as a whole. This was an act of hate, and we need to let them know that we love them and that we will stand by them no matter what.

One thing you can do is donate to the families of the victims. This money will help with the physical damages to the synagogue as well as with the survivors and families of the victims. Even if you don't have much, every little bit helps.

We can also make donations to Jewish organizations to show our support to the community here are a few different organizations that are in the Pittsburgh area that you can donate to.

Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh

Jewish Family and Children's Services of Pittsburgh

Jewish Community Center

We also need to teach people history, tell them about the Holocaust and the entire history of it, not just part of it, tell them about when they were slaves in Egypt they always say that those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, this is why we need to be teaching history in schools.

Let us all show our support for not just Pittsburgh, but the whole Jewish community as well. They don't have to hide who they are in fear of hate, because there are people that have their backs.

No matter what religion you may be no matter who you may believe in we are all the same we all deserve happiness, and love and to live long lives we all deserve the same things that one would want for themselves.

Never again starts now!
