Yesterday was one of the deadliest attacks on the Jewish people in United States history. In the middle of services, an individual devoid of humanity and filled with evil mercilessly ended 11 Jewish souls and critically injured six more.
There will be a vigil outside the KU Memorial Union at 5 PM today hosted by Chabad at KU and KU Hillel.
We will take time to recognize this moment for what it is: anti-semitism, evil, and tragedy. We will be showing solidarity with our beloved Jewish community by attending this vigil and reminding our Jewish friends that in the face of anti-semitism, we all stand together in solidarity.
Eight people have died and six more were injured after a gunman walked into the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill, PA, Saturday morning and started shooting.
