#PauseWithPittsburgh on October 27 for a Global Movement of Remembrance

Pause with Pittsburgh

As we approach the one-year commemoration of the vicious attack on the Tree of Life building in Pittsburgh, PA, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation is encouraging our community to come together for a virtual event to honor those we lost and commit to strengthening the Jewish peoplehood. Join us and thousands of others for a virtual commemoration ceremony and a global, online movement of remembrance. You can #PauseWithPittsburgh by registering at www.pausewithpittsburgh.com. On Sunday, October 27 at 5 p.m., you will receive a text message with a video reading of the Kaddish and the names of the 11 lives lost. After sharing this collective moment of prayer, join the Pittsburgh community for the public memorial service via livestream.
