A synagogue in suburban Milwaukee was packed Monday night with attendees gathering to commemorate the 11 lives lost in a shooting attack at a synagogue in Pittsburgh Saturday. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that all one-thousand seats were filled at Congregation Beth Israel Ner Tamid in Glendale Monday night and hundreds more people lined the walls and entrances for a community gathering hosted by the Milwaukee Jewish Foundation. Some wore stickers that read “Stronger than Hate.” Crowd members held hands and lifted their arms in a show of solidarity against the hate that motivated a gunman to kill 11 people and injure six at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. Uniformed police officers stood guard outside the Glendale synagogue, in the entrances and inside the sanctuary.
