A Message from The Point Breeze Organization
|
During this time of great sadness, the Point Breeze community and The Point Breeze Organization send our heartfelt condolences and support to the members of Tree of Life, New Light and Dor Hadosh Congregations. Our prayers are with your congregation, the victims and their families.
We are most thankful to the First Responders, all police departments, and political and community leaders for their bravery and support at this unimaginable time. We have no doubt that Squirrel Hill will rebound even stronger. |
