  10. Statement by Congregation Dor Hadash on Justice Department Decision to Seek Death Penalty

    Yesterday, we learned that the U.S. Justice Department will seek the death penalty against the suspected shooter in the 2018 mass shooting that devastated three congregations and rocked the entire North American Jewish community.
