'Something Great Is Coming Out Of This:' Jewish Community Supports Legacy International Worship Center

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- It was a sign of unity that's sweeping across the religious community in Pittsburgh.

People of different faiths and races supporting the congregation at Legacy International Worship Center on the North Side.

"We know it's the right thing to do to cross boundaries of neighborhood faiths and even rivers to be here with and for each other," said Rabbi James Gibson of Temple Sinai.

After the October 27 attack at the Tree of Life Synagogue, members of the Jewish Community Center and Temple Sinai say they were overwhelmed by the support from the city, state, and country.

Following the FBI arrest of Mustafa Alowemer, who planned to attack Legacy International Worship Center, they say it's time to give it back.

"Those type of things, those type of responses are what keep us all realizing we're worshipping the same god," said Rachel Kudrick of Temple Sinai.

"This stuff has to stop and hopefully it will when we stay together," said Tim Stevens of the Black Political Empowerment Movement.
