Norton to Attend Interfaith Service and Solidarity Gathering at Adas Israel Congregation, Tonight

October 29, 2018

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will join faith leaders and residents at an interfaith service and solidarity gathering to mourn the 11 lives lost in this weekend's shooting at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life Congregation tonight, Monday, October 29, 2018, at 6:30 p.m., at Adas Israel Congregation (2850 Quebec St. NW).

"All of us in the District of Columbia stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Pittsburgh," Norton said. "Coming together in unity this evening as we mourn this unbearable loss of precious lives signals that the loss at the Shabbat service was not a loss to the Jewish community alone. However, condemning anti-Semitic and hate-filled violence is only the beginning of our obligation, considering the rapid increase in anti-Semitism in the past few years. The challenge is for action that will cast out this dangerous bigotry."
