now we see why particular this place was targeted:
Robert Bowers, the man who walked into a synagogue on a Saturday morning and opened fire, was a virulent antisemite with an online history of incitement against Jews. And he also hated HIAS and everything it stood for, in particular its stated goals of aiding and resettling refugees from around the globe. Last weekend, HIAS organized “National Refugee Shabbat,” with events hosted at hundreds of synagogues around the country. One such community was Dor Hadash in Pittsburgh, which holds its services inside the Tree of Life synagogue.
