UPDATE Pittsburgh's Tree of Life presents a vision to return to its building.
There is a day of activity planned for Sunday's one-year mark (we do not use the word "anniversary " as it has a happy connotation). which you can see at pittsburghoct27.org . It will include community service opportunities, torah study, and a public commemoration program at 5:00 PM. We invite you to join us on Sunday evening through the wonder of the internet by signing up at https://pausewithpittsburgh.com/ for a virtual moment of solidarity.

Cecil and Morris are walking to services. Cecil asks, "I wonder whether it would be all right to smoke while praying?" "Why don't you ask the rabbi?" says Morris. Cecil sees Rabbi Golden and asks, "Rabbi, is it permissible for me to smoke while I pray?" "No, you may not. That's utterly disrespectful to our tradition!" answers the rabbi. Cecil goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Rabbi told him. "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try." Morris goes over to the rabbi and asks, "Rabbi, would it be ok if I prayed while I smoke?" To which Rabbi Golden eagerly replies, "By all means, my good man. By all means."
Members may sponsor a kiddush in honor or memory of a friend or loved one, to celebrate a simcha, an anniversary, or a milestone, or for virtually any reason at all.
All meals served at synagogue, of course, are strictly kosher.
