On Monday, October 29, MIHS stood with students across the nation and wore blue in honor of the victims of the Pittsburgh shooting.

The shooting occurred on Saturday while members of the Tree of Life Congregation were worshiping at synagogue. Eleven members of the community were killed and six more were injured.

This shooting demonstrates the anti-Semitism that still exists today and the fear it instills in the Jewish community.
