Tree of Life Reflections

Tree of Life: A Concert for Peace and Unity was performed by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Maestro Manfred Honeck in memory of those killed and wounded by a gunman who opened fire in a Pittsburgh synagogue. This story focuses on a couple who attended the concert - and was profoundly moved by the experience. They had been in the synagogue the day of the shooting, and narrowly escaped death.
