Today marks 5 years since the tragic shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue. We remember the 11 lives lost and their loved ones. As we remember this loss that shook Pittsburgh, it’s more important than ever to fight against antisemitism and embrace all faiths with compassion.

Nina Simone (1933-2003)

"There's no other purpose, so far as I'm concerned, for us except to reflect the times, the situations around us and the things we're able to say through our art, the things that millions of people can't say. I think that's the function of an artist and, of course, those of us who are lucky leave a legacy so that when we're dead, we also live on. That's people like Billie Holiday and I hope that I will be that lucky, but meanwhile, the function, so far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times, whatever that might be."
