Explore the Forces Shaping Jewish Connection.

What drives moments of connection and resilience? Why are so many of us seeking greater engagement in our community? Join us to reflect on how pivotal moments in Jewish history—including the profound impact of October 7th and the devastating Tree of Life tragedy—have rekindled our collective yearning for connection, safety, and belonging.

Rabbi Hazzan Jeffrey Myers, who has led Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Congregation with compassion and hope, will share powerful insights from his experience. Drawing on historical and personal perspectives, he will explore how Jewish communities have turned challenges into opportunities for growth, learning, and renewal. Together, we’ll consider how these lessons can guide us in strengthening our community for the future.
