With great sadness, we send our condolences and solidarity to the communities affected by the shooting this afternoon at the Kansas City Jewish Community Center. First reports indicate that this was likely motivated by anti-Jewish hate. Just before Passover begins, it is a tragic reminder to all of us to continue to be vigilant against anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry. All our thoughts are with the victims and families at this terrible time.
