After Pittsburgh Shooting, Jewish Congregations Vow To Keep Helping Refugees
Two months ago, a gunman killed 11 worshipers at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. He chose the target because it supported a Jewish aid program to resettle refugees in America.
Temple Rodef Shalom in Falls Church, Va., is one of many Jewish congregations across the country that have been helping to resettle refugees in America.
Three years ago, its members agreed to sponsor a Muslim refugee â a single mother named Tilko who fled Iraq with her children and who was originally brought to this country by a Christian charity.
Tilko asked not to be identified
