What To Take Away from the Synagogue Shooting Trial

from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast

On October 27, 2018, a man walked into a Squirrel Hill synagogue and turned an ordinary Shabbat morning into the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history. Nearly five years later, he has been sentenced to death for killing 11 Jewish worshipers from three congregations: Tree of Life, New Light, and Dor Hadash. City Cast’s Mallory Falk grew up at Tree of Life, attended part of the trial, and spoke to some of those affected. She joins host Megan Harris to discuss the trial, the sentence, and where we go from here. Many local outlets have been dedicating a ton of time and effort to this coverage: Jewish Chronicle https://jewishchronicle.timesofisrael.com/topic/pittsburgh-synagogue-shooting/ WESA: https://www.wesa.fm/tags/pittsburgh-synagogue-shooting-trial TribLive: https://triblive.com/local/pittsburgh/robert-bowers-trial/ Want some more Pittsburgh news?  Make sure to sign up for our daily morning Hey Pittsburgh newsletter.
