00:10:11,542 --> 00:10:14,583
That was the first time
I'd ever heard about that.

179
00:10:14,667 --> 00:10:16,958
<i>So, I always appreciated Pittsburgh.</i>

180
00:10:17,042 --> 00:10:18,500
(crowd cheering)

181
00:10:18,584 --> 00:10:20,458
<i>I remember in 1979,</i>

182
00:10:20,542 --> 00:10:23,459
<i>the Pittsburgh Pirates
won the World Series.</i>

183
00:10:24,834 --> 00:10:28,083
<i>And the captain of the team,
Willie Stargell,</i>

184
00:10:28,167 --> 00:10:31,542
kept on referring
to the Pirates as the family.

185
00:10:31,626 --> 00:10:35,125
And there was a song
that was popular at the time

186
00:10:35,209 --> 00:10:36,834
called "We Are Family."

187
00:10:36,918 --> 00:10:39,208
<i>♪ We are family ♪</i>

188
00:10:39,292 --> 00:10:43,166
<i>And all the fans
used to sing it all the time.</i>

189
00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:45,083
<i>And it really thrilled me</i>

190
00:10:45,167 --> 00:10:47,542
<i>to feel part of this great family,</i>

191
00:10:47,626 --> 00:10:50,583
and we would sing it all the time.

192
00:10:50,667 --> 00:10:53,500
It was funny because it said,
"We are family.

193
00:10:53,584 --> 00:10:55,834
I got all my sisters with me,"

194
00:10:55,918 --> 00:10:58,041
which didn't really refer
to the Pirates so much,

195
00:10:58,125 --> 00:11:02,208
but, in my family,
where I only had sisters, uh,

196
00:11:02,292 --> 00:11:07,416
it was very special to me
to be able to sing

197
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:10,667
about having all my sisters with me.

198
00:11:10,751 --> 00:11:13,792
(muffled "We Are Family" fading out)

199
00:11:13,876 --> 00:11:16,834
(quiet traffic noise)

200
00:11:16,918 --> 00:11:19,916
(breeze blowing)

201
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,041
(birds chirping)

202
00:11:24,125 --> 00:11:26,583
I didn't feel like
watching the Steelers today

203
00:11:26,667 --> 00:11:29,583
because I was afraid they would lose.

204
00:11:29,667 --> 00:11:32,500
But I have to get the score. (laughs)

205
00:11:32,584 --> 00:11:36,751
Pittsburgh Steelers won 17 to 10.

206
00:11:38,876 --> 00:11:41,625
- Director: <i>Mazel tov.</i> (laughs)
<i>- Mazel tov</i> indeed.

207
00:11:41,709 --> 00:11:43,792
Director: My father will be very happy.

208
00:11:43,876 --> 00:11:45,916
(laughter)

209
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,125
There are writers who say,

210
00:11:49,209 --> 00:11:53,209
"We are born, we suffer, and we die."

211
00:11:56,417 --> 00:11:59,083
The whole of life in eight words.

212
00:11:59,167 --> 00:12:00,751
And I say...

213
00:12:02,542 --> 00:12:06,459
We are born, we laugh, and we die.

214
00:12:07,542 --> 00:12:09,792
Anyway, uh...

215
00:12:09,876 --> 00:12:12,667
that gives you an idea of
the kind of person I am.

216
00:12:12,751 --> 00:12:14,333
Should I talk with my hands on the table,

217
00:12:14,417 --> 00:12:15,999
or should I talk with my hands in my lap?

218
00:12:16,083 --> 00:12:19,625
Should I cross my legs? Should I grab...

219
00:12:19,709 --> 00:12:22,291
Director:
If it makes you
feel able to speak...

220
00:12:22,375 --> 00:12:24,667
I'm likely to use my hands

221
00:12:24,751 --> 00:12:27,208
because I always do.

222
00:12:27,292 --> 00:12:31,291
I live in Greenfield, but
everyone calls it Squirrel Hill

223
00:12:31,375 --> 00:12:33,709
<i>because I'm near the border.</i>

224
00:12:35,876 --> 00:12:38,250
<i>And, in fact, in Squirrel Hill,</i>

225
00:12:38,334 --> 00:12:40,625
<i>Squirrel Hill itself has never been</i>

226
00:12:40,709 --> 00:12:44,208
<i>more than 40% Jewish.</i>

227
00:12:44,292 --> 00:12:47,083
<i>But the flavor of the neighborhood,</i>

228
00:12:47,167 --> 00:12:49,291
<i>all the businesses that were owned</i>

229
00:12:49,375 --> 00:12:51,208
and loudly proclaiming

230
00:12:51,292 --> 00:12:53,125
<i>"Buy kosher meat here" and whatever.</i>

231
00:12:53,209 --> 00:12:55,583
<i>It made it seem like a Jewish community.</i>

232
00:12:55,667 --> 00:12:58,876
- (birds chirping)
- (quiet traffic noise)

233
00:13:04,167 --> 00:13:06,958
(turn signal clicking)

234
00:13:07,042 --> 00:13:09,625
(sighs) See?

235
00:13:09,709 --> 00:13:11,918
- (shifts to park)

236
00:13:13,834 --> 00:13:17,208
Anthony:
<i>I knew them. I sat in</i>
<i>synagogue next to them.</i>

237
00:13:17,292 --> 00:13:19,834
<i>They greeted me as I came
into the synagogue</i>

238
00:13:19,918 --> 00:13:21,542
<i>where I grew up with them.</i>

239
00:13:25,584 --> 00:13:28,875
(Director speaking)

240
00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:30,626
This is my first time.

241
00:13:31,751 --> 00:13:34,876
(quiet traffic noise, honking)

242
00:13:44,250 --> 00:13:46,333
Magali Fienberg: <i>Joyce was very concerned</i>

243
00:13:46,417 --> 00:13:47,875
<i>about what happened in Paris,</i>

244
00:13:47,959 --> 00:13:49,999
<i>in France, and also in Paris,</i>

245
00:13:50,083 --> 00:13:53,667
because many things
happen against Jewish people.

246
00:13:53,751 --> 00:13:57,459
I think she, she would
have liked us to, to move.

247
00:13:59,709 --> 00:14:02,291
Director:
Did she ever say where
she'd like you to move?

248
00:14:02,375 --> 00:14:04,500
In Pittsburgh. Yes.

249
00:14:07,792 --> 00:14:10,542
- Come here, puppy.
- Director: She wants
to be with her mama?

250
00:14:10,626 --> 00:14:13,041
Yeah! You wanna sit with mom?

251
00:14:13,125 --> 00:14:16,500
-This is my dog, Ziva.
That's a Hebrew name.
-(panting)

252
00:14:16,584 --> 00:14:18,041
- Ziva.
- Director: What does it mean?

253
00:14:18,125 --> 00:14:22,583
It means light and illuminated.

254
00:14:22,667 --> 00:14:26,542
She's been my therapy dog,
I'll tell you. For the...

255
00:14:26,626 --> 00:14:28,458
That first week or so afterwards

256
00:14:28,542 --> 00:14:31,500
when there was one funeral
after the next.

257
00:14:31,584 --> 00:14:32,792
It was...

258
00:14:32,876 --> 00:14:36,167
Yeah, that was, that was
a tough week, um...

259
00:14:37,876 --> 00:14:41,042
- (street noise)
- (distant horn)

260
00:14:42,542 --> 00:14:45,375

00:14:45,459 --> 00:14:48,958
Augie Siriano:
<i>I... I've said to</i>
<i>a few people already, um...</i>

262
00:14:49,042 --> 00:14:50,625
"I can't wait to get back home,

263
00:14:50,709 --> 00:14:54,625
but, unfortunately,
it's gonna be a while."

264
00:14:54,709 --> 00:14:56,458
Director:
When you say, "Can't wait
to get back home,"

265
00:14:56,542 --> 00:15:00,250
- what do you mean by home?
- Tree of Life. Yeah.

266
00:15:00,334 --> 00:15:02,958
And they looked at me like, "Oh really?"

267
00:15:03,042 --> 00:15:05,583
You know, I was, yeah. You know.

268
00:15:05,667 --> 00:15:08,626
It's 27 years now in there.

269
00:15:10,167 --> 00:15:11,626
(clears throat)

270
00:15:13,292 --> 00:15:16,166
<i>In 1993, my brother-in-law used to work</i>

271
00:15:16,250 --> 00:15:17,876
<i>at Tree of Life Synagogue.</i>

272
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,458
<i>He called me and said,</i>

273
00:15:19,542 --> 00:15:21,333
<i>"Hey, there's a position here."
I went and,</i>

274
00:15:21,417 --> 00:15:23,500
<i>you know, I worked for
a while, and, you know,</i>

275
00:15:23,584 --> 00:15:25,875
I liked it, so I just stayed.

276
00:15:25,959 --> 00:15:29,834
<i>The people, the hugs
and the kisses that I get</i>

277
00:15:29,918 --> 00:15:31,958
once in a while on the cheek, of course,

278
00:15:32,042 --> 00:15:35,542
it's just in general working there.

279
00:15:35,626 --> 00:15:38,583
You know, some of the people,
I couldn't wait to come in

280
00:15:38,667 --> 00:15:42,166
for something... You know,

281
00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:44,416
sometimes I would stand
at the door and wait

282
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:46,291
for them to come in and just say,

283
00:15:46,375 --> 00:15:48,166
"Hi, how you doing?" You know?

284
00:15:48,250 --> 00:15:50,417
And I'm gonna miss all that.

285
00:15:52,125 --> 00:15:55,334
- (birds chirping)
- (kids chattering)

286
00:16:00,292 --> 00:16:04,125
Carol:
<i>I just was not involved</i>
<i>in Jewish life</i>

287
00:16:04,209 --> 00:16:08,083
<i>really for my... most of my adult life.</i>

288
00:16:08,167 --> 00:16:11,667
So, Saturday mornings, I would
meet my friend at North Park,

289
00:16:11,751 --> 00:16:13,542
and we would run around the lake.

290
00:16:13,626 --> 00:16:16,291
And we did that for many years

291
00:16:16,375 --> 00:16:18,500
until I injured my hip,
and I couldn't run.

292
00:16:18,584 --> 00:16:20,500
And I thought, "Well,
now what am I gonna do?"

293
00:16:20,584 --> 00:16:23,250
So, thought, "Well, maybe
I'll just go to shul."

294
00:16:23,334 --> 00:16:26,041
And so I joined my brother

295
00:16:26,125 --> 00:16:28,375
and got involved,

296
00:16:28,459 --> 00:16:30,500
and it just carried on from there.

297
00:16:31,792 --> 00:16:34,583
Our congregation is a small congregation,

298
00:16:34,667 --> 00:16:38,667
and it tends towards the older side,

299
00:16:38,751 --> 00:16:41,625
and we don't have

300
00:16:41,709 --> 00:16:43,250
our own building anymore.

301
00:16:43,334 --> 00:16:45,625
We couldn't maintain our old building,

302
00:16:45,709 --> 00:16:47,416
and so we sold it

303
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:50,375
and moved into the Tree of Life.

304
00:16:50,459 --> 00:16:53,083
♪ ♪

305
00:16:53,167 --> 00:16:55,583
<i>We don't refer to it</i>

306
00:16:55,667 --> 00:16:57,291
as the Tree of Life shooting.

307
00:16:57,375 --> 00:17:00,875
We call it the Pittsburgh
Synagogue shooting

308
00:17:00,959 --> 00:17:03,708
because we want people to know

309
00:17:03,792 --> 00:17:06,625
that there were two other congregations

310
00:17:06,709 --> 00:17:07,708
that were in that building,

311
00:17:07,792 --> 00:17:11,625
and all three congregations lost people.

312
00:17:11,709 --> 00:17:14,125
So the three congregations,
well, of course,

313
00:17:14,209 --> 00:17:17,291
Tree of Life or L'Simcha.
It's their building.

314
00:17:17,375 --> 00:17:19,291
There is Dor Hadash,

315
00:17:19,375 --> 00:17:21,542
which also was a tenant,

316
00:17:21,626 --> 00:17:25,458
and that's a Reconstructionist
congregation.

317
00:17:25,542 --> 00:17:29,542
And the one that I belong to
is New Light Congregation.

318
00:17:29,626 --> 00:17:33,792
And we had only been in that
building for 11 months.

319
00:17:36,167 --> 00:17:38,584
We were just getting used
to that new home.

Barry: <i>I would go Friday night services</i>

321
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:53,875

322
00:17:53,959 --> 00:17:58,583
<i>But, it happened that it was</i>

323
00:17:58,667 --> 00:18:00,583
That Saturday morning.

324
00:18:00,667 --> 00:18:03,958
The anniversary of her passing.

325
00:18:04,042 --> 00:18:07,584
And I made it a point to go to shul.

326
00:18:09,876 --> 00:18:13,333
Services started at a quarter to 10:00.

327
00:18:13,417 --> 00:18:16,625
Nobody showed up at a quarter to 10:00.

328
00:18:16,709 --> 00:18:19,708
I like to say Jewish Standard Time.

329
00:18:19,792 --> 00:18:21,500
A quarter to 10:00, 10:00 o'clock,

330
00:18:21,584 --> 00:18:23,750
quarter after, but be there by 10:30.

331
00:18:23,834 --> 00:18:26,959
And that's the way things usually happen.

332
00:18:30,375 --> 00:18:32,750
Dan: <i>It was a rainy morning.</i>

333
00:18:32,834 --> 00:18:36,458
I got there and my
dear friend Jerry Rabinowitz

334
00:18:36,542 --> 00:18:38,875
was, was... had arrived

335
00:18:38,959 --> 00:18:41,458
just a couple of minutes before I did.

336
00:18:41,542 --> 00:18:45,333
And Marty Gaynor, our friend,

337
00:18:45,417 --> 00:18:47,083
had arrived just, I think,

338
00:18:47,167 --> 00:18:49,291
a couple minutes after I got there.

339
00:18:49,375 --> 00:18:50,667
Um...

340
00:18:51,834 --> 00:18:54,417
And, um, um...

341
00:18:56,250 --> 00:18:57,500
Then we heard gunshots.

342
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:02,542
<i>And Jerry and I looked at each other.</i>

343
00:19:02,626 --> 00:19:04,625
Jerry's a doctor, I'm a nurse.

344
00:19:04,709 --> 00:19:07,375
Our, our instincts are counter

345
00:19:07,459 --> 00:19:10,375
to what everyone is trained
to do, and should do,

346
00:19:10,459 --> 00:19:11,834
and I encourage them to do,

347
00:19:11,918 --> 00:19:15,416
and that is to run, hide, and fight,

348
00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:17,125
in that order.

349
00:19:18,792 --> 00:19:22,458
But Jerry and I thought that,

878

I don't know that we ever will.

879
00:46:39,792 --> 00:46:42,709
I hope and pray there's a day
where we do do that.

880
00:46:43,834 --> 00:46:46,375
I'm a marine. I'm an FBI agent.

881
00:46:46,459 --> 00:46:50,042
I've carried a gun
my entire professional career.

882
00:46:51,125 --> 00:46:52,500
I think too many people have guns

883
00:46:52,584 --> 00:46:55,626
that should not have guns
and that are not qualified...

884
00:46:57,083 --> 00:47:00,626

Speaker:
I traveled here from Beaver
County for one reason.

893
00:47:43,959 --> 00:47:46,625
If we let this shit happen here,

894
00:47:46,709 --> 00:47:48,958
before you know it,
it'll be in everybody's backyard

895
00:47:49,042 --> 00:47:50,500

Gun Shop Owner:
<i>They were talking about</i>
<i>tearing the building down,</i>

898
00:48:07,459 --> 00:48:09,958
<i>and it was boarded up for a while,</i>

899
00:48:10,042 --> 00:48:13,667
<i>and we got it pretty cheap,
but it was in rough shape.</i>

900
00:48:13,751 --> 00:48:16,958
I've honestly have not had one person,

901
00:48:17,042 --> 00:48:20,708
and I've had hundreds of people,

902
00:48:20,792 --> 00:48:22,625
you know, Jewish religion, come in,

903
00:48:22,709 --> 00:48:24,333
and I have not had

904
00:48:24,417 --> 00:48:27,333
<i>one person come in
and have a problem with it.</i>

905
00:48:27,417 --> 00:48:30,250
<i>Anyone I've talked to, they were happy</i>

906
00:48:30,334 --> 00:48:32,875
<i>that we saved the building.</i>

907
00:48:32,959 --> 00:48:35,958
Director:
<i>Did you hear about</i>
<i>the Tree of Life shooting?</i>

908
00:48:36,042 --> 00:48:38,250
It's a shame. It truly is a shame.

909
00:48:39,167 --> 00:48:41,333
I, I have no...

910
00:48:41,417 --> 00:48:43,750
I don't think I have
a racist bone in my body,

911
00:48:43,834 --> 00:48:45,708
to be honest with you, in any way.

912
00:48:45,792 --> 00:48:47,834
Just the way I tick, I don't know,

913
00:48:47,918 --> 00:48:51,291
I can't understand people
that have that hate.

914
00:48:51,375 --> 00:48:53,583
I just... I can't, you know.

915
00:48:53,667 --> 00:48:56,875
I'm at a point now, I'm 62, that,

916
00:48:56,959 --> 00:48:58,458
you know, I...

917
00:48:58,542 --> 00:49:00,208
I'd have trouble hunting, I think.

918
00:49:00,292 --> 00:49:01,542
I haven't hunted for a few years,

919
00:49:01,626 --> 00:49:04,375
and just, you know,
killing an animal now.

920
00:49:05,626 --> 00:49:07,125
Believe me, I would quit selling guns

921
00:49:07,209 --> 00:49:09,416
if I thought it would make a difference.

922
00:49:09,500 --> 00:49:12,542
And I mean... just what really upsets me

923
00:49:12,626 --> 00:49:16,083
is as soon as there's a shooting, okay,

924
00:49:17,209 --> 00:49:18,999
you have the agenda people up,

925
00:49:19,083 --> 00:49:21,583
and they, you know,
they wanna ban assault rifles.

926
00:49:21,667 --> 00:49:24,875
<i>And banning assault rifles
isn't gonna do anything.</i>

927
00:49:24,959 --> 00:49:27,875
<i>Better background checks,
I'm all for that,</i>

928
00:49:27,959 --> 00:49:29,792
<i>but even that is a Band-Aid.</i>

929
00:49:30,751 --> 00:49:33,583
<i>Common sense just tells you</i>

930
00:49:33,667 --> 00:49:35,375
that it's, you know...

931
00:49:35,459 --> 00:49:36,875
these people aren't gonna give up their...

932
00:49:36,959 --> 00:49:38,041
Especially the criminals.

933
00:49:38,125 --> 00:49:39,792
They're not gonna give up their guns.

934
00:49:39,876 --> 00:49:42,667
If anything, I would think,

935
00:49:42,751 --> 00:49:44,709
<i>you know, to arm more people.</i>

936
00:49:52,459 --> 00:49:55,626
(quiet chatter fading in)

937
00:49:58,918 --> 00:50:01,459
(indistinct)

938
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,958
Host: Thank you all for coming

939
00:50:07,042 --> 00:50:11,208
because this is really important.

940
00:50:11,292 --> 00:50:13,958
And we as a congregation, or anywhere,

941
00:50:14,042 --> 00:50:17,834
can spend an infinite
amount of money on security

942
00:50:17,918 --> 00:50:19,999
and have the best security in the world,

943
00:50:20,083 --> 00:50:23,208
but your power is in your knowledge

944
00:50:23,292 --> 00:50:25,999
and your ability
to respond in a situation,

945
00:50:26,083 --> 00:50:28,500
which is what Brad is here to show us.

946
00:50:29,667 --> 00:50:32,959
- Good evening, everybody.
- (applause)

947
00:50:34,459 --> 00:50:36,583
We're gonna talk about some things today

948
00:50:36,667 --> 00:50:39,375
that are hard to hear.

949
00:50:39,459 --> 00:50:41,542
We're gonna talk about death.

950
00:50:41,626 --> 00:50:43,375
We're gonna talk about violence.

951
00:50:44,667 --> 00:50:47,958
We're here talking about it
in a synagogue,

952
00:50:48,042 --> 00:50:50,291
in our house of worship,

953
00:50:50,375 --> 00:50:53,708
because we've had and suffered
the worst massacre

954
00:50:53,792 --> 00:50:55,417
in our nation's history

955
00:50:56,375 --> 00:50:58,500
to the Jewish population, right?

956
00:50:58,584 --> 00:51:00,583
Since the year 2000,

957
00:51:00,667 --> 00:51:02,458
active shooters, that active threat,

958
00:51:02,542 --> 00:51:04,916
has increased every single year.

959
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,167
I am gonna talk about
a commitment to action.

960
00:51:09,167 --> 00:51:12,083
We have to learn how to survive

961
00:51:12,167 --> 00:51:13,958
for three to five minutes.

962
00:51:14,042 --> 00:51:17,083
And that three to five minutes
is that time frame

963
00:51:17,167 --> 00:51:20,625
when we call police till
first responders typically come.

964
00:51:20,709 --> 00:51:23,918
Steve is a member of Tree of Life.

965
00:51:25,250 --> 00:51:28,416
Steve was there that morning

966
00:51:28,500 --> 00:51:30,667
on October 27th.

967
00:51:30,751 --> 00:51:34,667
And thank God Steve is
standing with us here today.

968
00:51:35,500 --> 00:51:37,125
With that, Steve?

969
00:51:37,959 --> 00:51:39,334
Stephen: Thank you.

970
00:51:41,292 --> 00:51:42,834
Good evening.

971
00:51:42,918 --> 00:51:44,542
I'd like to just tell you
a little bit about

972
00:51:44,626 --> 00:51:48,083
what happened on Saturday
morning, October 27th.

973
00:51:48,167 --> 00:51:49,916
As the rabbi finished the kadesh,

974
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:51,500
I started walking into the doorway

975
00:51:51,584 --> 00:51:53,208
to go out into the lobby,

976
00:51:53,292 --> 00:51:55,916
and there were a series
of four or five shots

977
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,500
that occurred in succession.
And while I'm standing there,

978
00:51:58,584 --> 00:52:01,708
I can watch the brass bounce
across the floor in front of me.

979
00:52:01,792 --> 00:52:03,625
And I remembered training that I had

980
00:52:03,709 --> 00:52:06,458
in September of 2017 with Brad

981
00:52:06,542 --> 00:52:09,250
where he came into our religious school.

982
00:52:09,334 --> 00:52:11,916
<i>I'm doing pretty well.
I mean, I've had a chance</i>

983
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,792
to talk with my students in school,

984
00:52:14,876 --> 00:52:18,333
with a social worker in school,
with a lot of different people,

985
00:52:18,417 --> 00:52:19,916
and that's really helped me

986
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,041
work through a lot of this in my mind.

987
00:52:22,125 --> 00:52:24,583
I ran up the side of the chapel,

988
00:52:24,667 --> 00:52:26,291
across the bimah,

989
00:52:26,375 --> 00:52:28,959
and out a door that's on
that side of the bimah.

990
00:52:29,959 --> 00:52:31,458
As I was going out of the door,

991
00:52:31,542 --> 00:52:34,792
shots were starting to happen
in the chapel itself.

992
00:52:34,876 --> 00:52:36,958
I look back on it and, to me,

993
00:52:37,042 --> 00:52:39,416
God has a reason why I'm still here.

994
00:52:39,500 --> 00:52:41,416
I went down a back stairway.

995
00:52:41,500 --> 00:52:44,083
I wanted to alert
the New Light Congregation

996
00:52:44,167 --> 00:52:47,208
that was downstairs, getting
ready to start their services.

997
00:52:47,292 --> 00:52:49,416
And I've kind of taken on a mission

998
00:52:49,500 --> 00:52:52,834
to really try to promote ALICE training

999
00:52:52,918 --> 00:52:55,958
kind of as my personal
take-out of this whole thing

1000
00:52:56,042 --> 00:52:59,291
because I really credit that
training with saving my life.

1001
00:52:59,375 --> 00:53:02,958
I came back up the steps,
went out the main sanctuary,

1002
00:53:03,042 --> 00:53:05,834
and out a side door on to Shady Avenue.

1003
00:53:05,918 --> 00:53:10,166
And about 30 seconds later,
the first patrol car pulled up.

1004
00:53:10,250 --> 00:53:13,834
And so, it's up to each one
of us to learn this

1005
00:53:13,918 --> 00:53:16,625
because it can save your life.

1006
00:53:16,709 --> 00:53:19,125
- Brad: Thank you, Steve.
- Stephen:<i> It's devastating.</i>

1007
00:53:19,209 --> 00:53:21,416
You just start thinking
about each one of them

1008
00:53:21,500 --> 00:53:25,041
and how you knew each one and
how long you've known each one.

1009
00:53:25,125 --> 00:53:27,166
Rose Mallinger,
I taught her grandchildren

1010
00:53:27,250 --> 00:53:30,041
their bar and bat mitzvahs.

1011
00:53:30,125 --> 00:53:33,875
Sylvan and Bernice Simon.
Bernice knew my mom.

1012
00:53:33,959 --> 00:53:36,542
You know, just
the little things like that.

1013
00:53:36,626 --> 00:53:38,416
But you can't help, you know,

1014
00:53:38,500 --> 00:53:40,625
you have to think about them.

1015
00:53:40,709 --> 00:53:42,458
All of us have such different memories

1016
00:53:42,542 --> 00:53:44,625
and associations with them,

1017
00:53:44,709 --> 00:53:46,958
but I think that their memories

1018
00:53:47,042 --> 00:53:50,208
really are what we would call
a blessing for all of us,

1019
00:53:50,292 --> 00:53:53,916
and that part of them
continues to live on within us.

1025
00:54:13,834 --> 00:54:17,375
and the church in Charleston,
they were here.

1026
00:54:17,459 --> 00:54:21,208
And those were really helpful times

1027
00:54:21,292 --> 00:54:23,167

1028
00:54:24,375 --> 00:54:26,333
they were, especially Charleston.

It's been five years?

1030
00:54:28,584 --> 00:54:32,667
So, they had some time to, um, to heal

1031
00:54:32,751 --> 00:54:36,375
and their knowledge is very helpful.

from Parkland that I...

1033
00:54:40,792 --> 00:54:43,958
It's crazy. When there's
a shooting, we text each other

1034
00:54:44,042 --> 00:54:47,291
because you only can relate to...

1035
00:54:47,375 --> 00:54:51,625
You can relate to each other.
You just know that...
