AFTER THE STORM: Beyond the horror at the Tree of Life

In 2018, a gunman walked into in a synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighbourhood of Pittsburgh.

He killed 11 worshippers in one of America's worst antisemitic attacks. 

As you’ll hear, deep in their Jewish faith and traditions, somehow the survivors of Squirrel Hill found ways to rebuild.

This episode takes you to Pittsburgh on October 27, 2018. 

This is the second episode in our three-part series After the Storm: How faith and friendship helped three religious communities overcome violent attack.
