His vision for the beloved community, fierce insistence on justice for all, and deep love for humanity touched those who knew him and those who will never meet him alike. Our condolences to his loved ones; may he rest in the peace and power that he brought to our community.

Tonight I stood with hundreds of Jewish friends @wisela to mourn and remember those taken from us, and unite in an unequivocal denunciation of the acts violence against the people of Israel. I categorically condemn these attacks and join the pursuit for peace and justice.
