Tree of Life We are all one

Muslim groups raise over $125,000 to help Pittsburgh synagogue victims

People of many faiths are helping the victims and families of The Tree of Life synagogue where a shooting took the lives of 11 people in Pittsburgh Saturday. It gives me hope to know that among the helpers are two Muslim-American non-profits who have exceeded their fundraising goal in the campaign, “Muslims Unite For Pittsburgh Synagogue.”

Below are two links for the story. The first is from nbcnews.com and the second is an earlier story from The Times of Israel.
