Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Rabbis Joseph Berman and Lizz Goldstein led prayers during a sunset interfaith vigil at Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, October 28, 2018, for the victims of the massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh
Many local Jews were in synagogue themselves when they heard that a gunman stormed into the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh and murdered 11 people during Saturday morning services.
How are local Jews coping with their grief over the massacre? What precautions are they taking to protect their synagogues and other Jewish institutions? And how are they coming to terms with the fact that they may not be as safe in this country as they once thought themselves to be?
