President Reuven Rivlin said, Sunday, "We must say loud and clear - this was an act of anti-semitism. Our brothers and sisters, friends and family, were murdered because they were Jews. We can not, we must not, we will not ignore it or tolerate it."
In a specially-recorded message to open the Jewish community’s memorial vigil at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this evening, he also said, "In your time of pain in your time of loss, we are with you. One people. One family. Unbreakable. Eternal."
