Demolition has begun at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, the site of the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history, to reimagine the building in honor of the 11 people killed there in 2018. The new building will include spaces for worship, a museum, an education center, and a movie theater. Additionally, a memorial to the victims is being planned for a site just outside the synagogue, featuring 11 sculpted forms of open books representing the people who were killed.

"Ted Cruz and ADL Condemn Anti-Israel Vandalism Near Tree of Life, Pittsburgh Commemorates Synagogue Shooting Victims"

Anti-Israel vandals spray-painted "Free Palestine" and "GAZA" on the wall of a high school in the predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh, near the Tree of Life synagogue, one day before the fifth anniversary of the deadly shooting that claimed the lives of 11 congregants. While Senator Ted Cruz and the Anti-Defamation League condemned the vandalism, the Southern Poverty Law Center, which claims to combat hate groups and anti-Semitism, has remained silent. The vandalism comes amid a rise in anti-Semitic incidents in the US following the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas.
