Congregation Habonim mourns the tragic and senseless loss of life this past Shabbat morning at Tree of Life Or L'Simcha Congregation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

Our security partners at the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) have mobilized extra protection for the Jewish community in the GTA. CIJA has been in contact with local law enforcement agencies and received assurances that protection of the Jewish community and its facilities will be provided with additional attention immediately. 

We stand together with our Jewish sisters and brothers, and indeed with all people of good faith around the world, in condemning this horrific racist and anti-Semitic act.

We wish only comfort to the families of those who lost loved ones, and a full and speedy recover to those injured in this attack. 

Let us strengthen our resolve to continue building a world of kindness, compassion and love - which is surely the most fitting and noble way to remember those who perished. 

The President, Board & Clergy
Congregation Habonim
