Eleven innocent lives were taken that Shabbat morning, ripped away from their families by a lone gunman taking longtime forces of bigotry and prejudice to their violent conclusion. This act of terror was not only an assault against the Jewish community of Pittsburgh \u2014 it was a strike against the soul of our nation and the values for which America stands.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span>Today, the pain remains. For the families of Tree of Life, New Light, and Dor Hadash, the grief will never fully subside. In the two years since, we have witnessed the courage and resilience of these congregations \u2014 responding to their most profound moment of fear and despair with purpose, compassion, and love.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span>When anti-Semitism is allowed to fester, it shreds the fabric of our communities and erodes our soul. We must stand up and speak out whenever and wherever it rears its head, because silence can become complicity. If we are ever to reach our full potential as a nation, we must banish hatred, bigotry, and conspiratorial fanaticism to the dustbin of history \u2014 and choose a path of dignity and respect for all people.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span>On behalf of Jill, Kamala, Doug, and our families, we stand with the people of Squirrel Hill, the entire Pittsburgh community, and all Jewish Americans on this solemn anniversary. May the memories of the victims forever be a blessing.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>While the apparent false claims by Biden are shocking enough given the gravity of the 2018 attacks in isolation, it\u2019s important to understand that such \u201ccreativity\u201d is far from isolated.
