The Tree of Life Center for Humanity is building a future where Jewish life flourishes, communities stand together against antisemitism and hatred, and everyone can live, worship, and gather without fear.
The Tree of Life Center for Humanity honors the eleven Jewish worshippers from three congregations murdered on October 27, 2018. Through remembrance, education, and opportunities to come together across differences, we help visitors understand the history and consequences of antisemitism in America and recognize their responsibility to stand against hatred.
America fulfills its democratic promise when it protects the dignity and freedom of all people. That promise was demonstrated by the neighbors, faith leaders, and public officials in Pittsburgh and across the country who stood alongside our Jewish community after the attack. Their example strengthens our conviction that sacred spaces must remain sacred and that everyone deserves to live openly and freely without fear.
Here at the Tree of Life Center for Humanity, we honor those who were taken from us, welcome our neighbors, and renew this sacred place as a home for Jewish life.

In a broken world, we break through.
In the days after October 27, 2018, Pittsburgh came together to loudly oppose antisemitism and hate. The community rallied behind the three congregations as they began to pick up the pieces and rebuild. Now, in the face of dramatically rising antisemitism, it’s our turn to pick up the baton in pursuit of a world without antisemitism and hate.
We know we are stronger together. With your support, The Tree of Life Center for Humanity will be positioned as a national leader with diverse partners in the fight against antisemitism, while preserving the building as a place for vibrant Jewish life as it has been for generations.
The significant increase in antisemitic rhetoric and online vitriol make abundantly clear that our work to uproot antisemitism and cultivate empowered upstanders through education and engagement is more important than ever.
We all have a responsibility to respond to violence and hate with love and action. We invite you to join us in breaking through the darkness and lighting the path forward.
