Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, 70, is stepping down from his leadership role at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life Congregation after nearly eight years guiding the community through recovery following a devastating attack 1. Myers, who survived the 2018 shooting that claimed 11 lives from three congregations sharing the synagogue space, led the congregation through an extended period of grief, a protracted legal process, the COVID-19 pandemic, and planning for a new facility 1.
The attack occurred on October 27, 2018 1. The subsequent trial concluded in spring 2023 with the gunman's conviction and death sentence 1. A new building is scheduled to open in 2028 and will include a memorial and exhibits on antisemitism 1.
Reflecting on his tenure, Myers stated: "My mission has come to a conclusion to the best that I could. It was time for the next chapter also for the Tree of Life" 1. He plans to return to his native New Jersey to be closer to family and focus on personal healing 1.
