Congregation Shalom Rav

From Shalom Austin

Officials are beginning to release information about the shooter’s identity, and there are other unconfirmed reports about his motivations. We will continue to rely on law enforcement for updates and will respond thoughtfully as they emerge. You can also follow developments through the Austin Police Department’s X feed and page.

We are horrified that an attack like this could happen in our city. In recent years, the Austin community — and our Jewish community — have endured repeated incidents of hate and violence. Each time, unity and resilience have carried us forward. That same strength will guide us now.
Extremism has no place in Austin or in our society. We thank law enforcement for their fast response this morning and will continue working with civic leaders and trusted partners to confront terror and political violence in all its forms.

We love the The Maccabeats and we love "Kol haolam kulo"!

The whole world is a very narrow bridge. And the main thing is not to fear at all. Lyrics from R' Nachman of Breslav Melody by R' Baruch Chait

The beautiful and haunting Kol Nidre, played by the great Harvey Pittel, America's foremost classical saxophonist, former colleague, and friend of the congregation.
