Our condolences to the victims' families, and our prayers for those injured. The shooter, a self-proclaimed white supremacist and antisemite, killed ten and injured three more – almost all of whom were Black – in a deadly massacre. In a 180-page hate-filled racist and antisemitic manifesto, the shooter labeled his forthcoming attack as "terrorism." We agree, and we call upon the full force of the judicial system to punish the shooter to the extent the law allows. We stand in solidarity with the Black community which suffered the deeply painful blow of yesterday's shooting. In our grief for their loss, we must all renew our efforts to combat racism and hate. | | Watch: Pirchei Agudas Yisroel of America 59th Annual National Siyum Mishnayos Highlight Video | | Click here or on the image above to watch. | | Please note the schedule for this week.
