The rabbi of the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, where a gunman killed 11 people on Oct. 24, said that he was surprised by the warmth that President Donald Trump showed when he, First Lady Melania Trump, and other top members of the White House visited the synagogue on Oct. 30.
“The president was very warm, very consoling. He put his hand on my shoulder and the first question he asked me was, ‘Rabbi, tell me how are you doing?’” Jeffrey Myers told CNN on Nov. 1.
