Three Saturdays each month, Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue hosted a service specifically for children. October 27, 2018, was not one of those Saturdays — revealed during the federal hate crimes trial of the man accused in the shooting that day.
On those days, a group of kids would first gather in the lobby, and Stephen Weiss, a public school teacher and a synagogue youth leader, would then lead them in services, he said. October 27, 2018, was not one of those Saturdays. That miraculous coincidence was revealed in court Thursday at the federal hate crimes trial of the man accused of storming into the synagogue that day and fatally shooting 11 people and wounding several more.
“It was an instinct, I’ve never been to any – what do you call them – trainings,” he thought, “if somebody comes into the room we would avoid being hit if we were low to the ground.” He lost his glasses and his yarmulke while fleeing. He and several others, including Melvin Wax, went into a hidden closet space that Perlman said he had only discovered seven days earlier. Perlman said Wax was hard of hearing and at a certain point went to open the door to the closet, assuming the risk was over.
