The hate attack at the Tree of Life Synagogue has shaken our country. In Pittsburgh, thousands turned out at two vigils on Saturday and Sunday, but there were many, many vigils held across the country in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Boston and many places in between. Here are some pictures and videos from these gatherings.

Hundreds of people (so many that people were sitting on the floor at the front of the church) attended an interfaith vigil at Sixth Presbyterian Church in Squirrel Hill. After a brief service, the vigil moved outside to accommodate a larger crowd. (Alexandra Wimley/Post-Gazette) pic.twitter.com/M9bUxsschn [5]

Jews and our allies gathered tonight in New York’s Union Square to hold vigil for those killed in Pittsburgh today.
As we mourned, members of the Muslim of the community guarded us.
One Rabbi said “there is only one religion—and that is the human religion.”
