LIRS Responds to Tragedy in Pittsburgh

Published On:

The staff at LIRS is deeply saddened by the tragedy in Pittsburgh and the lives of faithful people lost in a terrible act of hate. Our prayers go out to their families and the Pittsburgh community in their grief.

We also extend our love and prayers to our colleagues at HIAS and the Jewish community that was targeted. We will continue to stand for welcome as an expression of our faith.
