Pittsburgh synagogue to reopen as center for Jewish life

Leaders of the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, where worshippers were fatally shot last year, want to rebuild and renovate the building, turning it into what they hope will be a “center for Jewish life in the United States” and a symbol against hatred, The Associated Press reports.

On Friday, they outlined their vision for the Tree of Life building, where three congregations — Tree of Life, Dor Hadash and New Light —gathered on October 27, 2018. A gunman, Robert Bowers, opened fire, killing 11 people and wounding seven.
