Tree of Life Rabbi Jeffrey Myers delivered a poignant sermon on Saturday in which he blamed politicians for a rise in “hate speech” across the country — a troubling trend that he said led to the recent massacre at his synagogue in Pittsburgh, CNN reported. Myers shared his message with three Tree of Life congregations that came together to attend the synagogue’s first Shabbat services since the mass shooting. President, hate speech leads to hateful actions. Hate speech leads to what happened in my sanctuary... Eleven people were killed on the morning of Oct. 27 when a gunman entered the synagogue as Shabbat services were just getting underway.
