Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh are joining forces in a new research center designed to study and seek ways to halt the proliferation of extremist hate.
The announcement comes amid rising fears about ethnic violence against Asian Americans. On Tuesday night in Atlanta, a gunman killed eight people, six of Asian descent, at three massage parlors.
The genesis of the new center to study extremist hate, however, dates back more than two years.
Officials said the Collaboratory Against Hate Research and Action Center is the result of conversations spurred by the Oct. 27, 2018, Tree of Life synagogue attack in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood that left 11 worshippers dead after a gunman stormed the building, home to three congregations, during Saturday morning services. ....

Don't call them 'fringe': New Jewish groups seek mainstream respect

Keshira haLev Fife is well known in the Jewish community of her native Pittsburgh, where she conducts Shabbat services and Hebrew school classes. But she’s not your average prayer leader or educator.
As a self-described “proud Jewish woman of color,” she said she “sprinkles, sparkles, disrupts expectations and offers blessings in the service of the Divine.”
She is a kohenet (Hebrew priestess), part of a small but growing international movement of mostly queer women, including self-defined witches, who emphasize the feminine aspects of “earth-based transformative Jewish ritual.”
Kohenet Keshira, as she is known, is the founder and leader of an independent, post-denominational community, Kesher Pittsburgh. Many of its devotees are previously unaffiliated multifaith or multiracial individuals, couples or families drawn to its message of openness and acceptance. ....
