CHARLESTON, S.C. — Members of a congregation from a Pittsburgh synagogue where 11 died in a mass shooting by an anti-Semitic gunman last fall have traveled to Charleston, S.C., to worship with members of the church where nine black worshippers died in 2015 at the hands of a white supremacist.

The Post and Courier reports that members of the New Light Congregation of the Tree of Life synagogue and members of the Emanuel AME Church worshipped together Friday and Sunday in Charleston. The Pittsburgh group went to Charleston for the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.

On Friday, Rabbi Jonathan Perlman, who leads New Light Congregation, stood at local Reform congregation Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim with Emanuel shooting survivor Polly Sheppard.

On Sunday, he stood at Emanuel’s altar rail hugging its senior pastor, the Rev. Eric S.C. Manning.

Church members came forward to wrap him and his group in a sea of hugs, tears.

Manning, who flew to Pittsburgh to comfort synagogue members, on Sunday implored people to love one another during divisive times. He referenced a line from one of King’s sermons: “Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.”
