'The Jewish community of Pittsburgh is with you. Our hearts are with you. We hold you in our prayers,” the Tree of Life synagogue told Muslim worshipers in New Zealand.
Candles are placed outside the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, on Monday at a vigil to commemorate victims of Friday's shootings. By Alex Horton Alex Horton General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow March 18 at 2:59 PM Jews in Pittsburgh and Muslim worshipers in Christchurch, New Zealand, have forged a grim bond that transcends oceans and faiths: Mass killers have targeted their houses of prayer.
“We feel compelled to come to the aid of those communities, just as our Jewish community was so compassionately supported only a few short months ago by people around the world of many faiths,” says a GoFundMe page set up by the congregation. “We recall with love the immediate, overwhelming support Tree of Life received from our Muslim brothers and sisters in Pittsburgh.
“Tree of Life members, and our friends who continue to comfort and bolster us as we recover, must now come together to support the Muslims of Christchurch,” the page says.
