Default Prayers for Pittsburgh

A very strong material.


The Steelmark logo belonging to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) came to be associated with Pittsburgh. The Steelmark was originally created for United States Steel Corporation to promote the attributes of steel: yellow lightens your work; orange brightens your leisure; and blue widens your world. The logo's meaning was later amended to represent the three materials used to produce steel: yellow for coal; orange for iron ore; and blue for steel scrap.

Sorry to hear that. My condolences. I have been talking to people with deep connections to the long term effects of deadly violence since late February of 1976 in Reno, Nevada. You never get over it but eventually can at least handle it.

It does take the community pulling together.

Grew up bout 50 miles from the site...Been to Squirrel Hill many times...my sister and family live nearby.

My proximity means nothing, but the hatred is becoming so wide spread, it will eventually hit close to us all.

Labeling of people is vicious and mean. All the discussion of "groups" etc have an effect on people and imaginethe effect on those of weak minds...

"But it's important to recognize that the people we label as "black," "white," "rich," poor," smart," and "simple," seem blacker, whiter, richer, poorer, smarter, and simpler merely because we've labeled them so. "

May God give peace to all who grieve

When I heard this I immediately thought of you and hoped it would not touch you personally. But it has touched all of us personally. Sending love to you and Pittsburgh.

Default Text for the Mourner's Kaddish

Text for the Mourner's Kaddish for the Tree of Life Congregation

Glorified and sanctified be God’s great name throughout the world which He has created according to His will.

May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen.

May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.
Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us
and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

He who creates peace in His celestial heights, may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

Say their names. These are real people. Real victims of real hate. Hate whipped up by claims that Jews are supporting an invasion of this country. Claims that Jews are using their $$$ to buy the election. This is as old as the Protocols of Zion and as new as the Speaker of the House. Hate speech has consequences. Whether it is Kristallnacht or Pittsburgh.

Say their names

Daniel Stein
Joyce Feinberg
Richard Gottfried
Rose Mallinger
Jerry Rabinowitz
Cecil Rosenthal
David Rosenthal
Bernice Simon
Sylvan Simon
Melvin Wax
Irving Younger


May their memory be for a blessing.

Just a "face" to some of the names...

Cecil and David Rosenthal--54 and 59; developmentally disabled brothers who lived in a Jewish house for the disabled and worked, beloved at both places. Going to services was a highlight of their week. Their sister helped care for them.

Bernice and Sylvan Simon--married couple in late 80s who came in from a suburb for services.

Jerry Rabinowitz--66, my brother-in-law's friend, a physician of the "old school" who truly cared for his patients and gave a lot of care to those with AIDS.

Rose Mallinger--97, alive during the holocaust but not a holocaust survivor as previously reported. Vivacious, energetic, well known in the shopping district.

Joyce Feinberg--75, grew up in Toronto, researcher at Pitt until retiring. She came to the synagogue every day to pray for her husband, who died in 2016.

Richard Gottfried--65, a dentist who came in from a northern suburb. Known for serving non-insured and underinsured patients.

Melvin Wax--88, became hard of hearing, lived simply in an apartment building of elderly Jews, a community within the community, and loved watching the Pirates, win or lose.

May their memory be for a blessing.
May their memory be a blessing.
May their souls through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
May we find good in others as a tribute to their lives

False claims and accusations ALWAYS will lead to some kind of violence.

I join you in asking for blessings in their names
