Interfaith Solidarity Event

Love your neighbor as yourself – Leviticus 19:18

 

Let us bring together our neighbors in the spirit of respect and harmony, and united against hatred and bigotry in all of its forms.

In the aftermath of the horrific Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, the deadliest antisemitic attack in US history, Congregation Beth Shalom hosted an Interfaith Solidarity Program on Sunday November 4th 2018. The event was also broadcast live on TV and streaming online thanks to NCTV17.

Congregation Beth Shalom deeply thanks everyone who attended and supported the event.

The following video is made possible by NCTV17.
