Hundreds in Montreal remember victims of Pittsburgh attack

Hundreds of members of Montreal’s Jewish community, politicians, and other mourners gathered at a synagogue on Oct. 29 to remember the 11 Jews murdered last weekend in Pittsburgh.

The rabbi of the Beth Israel Beth Aaron synagogue, Reuben Joshua Poupko, watched as people streamed into the main prayer hall, filling every pew as well as the upstairs balcony.
