Bay Ridge Comes Together at Candlelight Vigil for Tree of Life Victims
“Our hearts are full.”
That was the sentiment of Bay Ridge Cares President Karen Tadross immediately following a candlelight vigil for the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, held in the schoolyard of P.S. 185 on Thurs., Nov. 1.
Organized by Bay Ridge Cares – a local non-profit organization built on supporting those in need – the remembrance, dubbed “We Are One,” and which over 200 people attended, was organized in the wake of the Sat., Oct. 27 mass shooting that occurred at Tree of Life, Or L’Simcha Congregation, while Shabbat morning services and a bris (the Jewish ceremony of circumcision) were being held.
