The deadliest attack on the Jewish community in U.S. history startled a nation. Cantor Steven Stoehr, a native of Pittsburgh, was devastated about the tragedy. "What can we do after something so unspeakable? As cantors, whose role it is to guide the diverse spectrum of our community, we know education is crucial to long-term change and understanding," said Stoehr, a senior cantor at Northbrook's Congregation Beth Shalom.
