Eternal god, our heavenly father, we cry to you, but sometimes you seem so far away. In our despair you sometimes seem distant, and we are tempted to surmise that we are all alone.

This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. The white house announcing the president and the first lady will visit pittsburgh tomorrow to pay their respects in the wake of the antisemitic attack that killed 11 people worshiping in a synagogue. Theyll be joined by ivanka trump and jared kushner. The mayor of pittsburgh had urged the white house to delay the trip since tomorrow is the first funeral.

You say that these people were the pillars of the synagogue. Talk to us about that. Not just the synagogue, don. The community. So i personally knew Cecil Rosenthal. I knew jerry rabinowitz. And i knew rich gottfried. Ill start with rich. Rich and i were colleagues. We work at a federally qualified health center, Community Health center that is dedicated to serving everyone regardless of their income, regardless of what they look like, how they pray, the problems they may have encountered in their lives. And rich and his wife were both dentists. They had a successful practice and as they were winding down their careers getting close to retirement pe decided to spend part of each week, the last seven years providing care to people who probably wouldnt get dental care otherwise. In addition to the time that rich spent supporting the synagogue and going to other synagogues i just learned this evening to make a minyan, to make a quorum in order for everybody to be able to worship together.
