Lessons from The Tree of Life:
Lighting the Path Forward
The Tree of Life’s traveling exhibition about what happened on October 27, 2018, the community’s response to the deadliest antisemitic attack in the United States, our reimagining of The Tree of Life, and the history of antisemitism in America.
Created in partnership with the Rauh Jewish History Program & Archives at the Heinz History Center, the exhibition features curated items gifted to the Pittsburgh Jewish community in the aftermath of the attack. It challenges visitors to reflect on the impact of antisemitism in America and seeks to inspire action to build a future rooted in resilience and understanding.
