2026 Commemoration of the
Oct. 27, 2018 Pittsburgh  Synagogue Shooting

Welcome, Neighbor

Every year we join together through service and volunteering, through Torah study, and through a Commemoration Ceremony, to remember the eleven people who were killed on October 27th, 2018. We stand in solidarity with the survivors, the families of those who were killed, and all those who have been impacted by this act of hate-motivated violence. We stand united in grief and community.

We remember Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Dan Stein, Irving Younger, and Melvin Wax. May their memories be for a blessing.

Remember

The Commemoration Ceremony will be held in the Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh in Squirrel Hill at 6:30pm on October 27th. All are welcome. 

Volunteer

Commemorative volunteering events on October 26th will seek to forge connections and honor the spirits and lives of those who were taken through acts of service and kindness.
