Tree of Life, other Jewish organizations receive threats by mail
The Tree of Life and other Jewish organizations in the region have received threatening letters.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh said it was aware of the threats delivered by mail and is working with the FBI and law enforcement officers in active investigations.
“While deeply disturbing, we want to assure our community that safety and security remain our top priority,” the Federation said in a statement to the Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle. “Our Federation security team continues to monitor the situation closely and is working to ensure that all Jewish institutions remain protected.”
Eleven worshipers were killed and six others were wounded when a gunman opened fire at the Tree of Life in 2018 in the deadliest-ever attack on Jewish people in the United States. The shooter, Robert Bowers, was sentenced to death in 2023.
