Lynette Lederman attended Hebrew School at Ahavath Achim when it was on Hancock Avenue in Bridgeport and was married at Rodeph Sholom on Park Avenue. Her adult life, however, has been spent in Pittsburgh and as a congregant at Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. “Horrible,” is how Lederman, a former president of the congregation, describes the aftermath of what is believed to be the deadliest attack on Jewish people in U.S. history. Lederman wasn’t in synagogue on Saturday morning, when a gunman opened fire with an automatic weapon, killing 11, but she knew eight of victims. “We want people to know that (those) killed on Saturday were in the synagogue doing what they always do,” said Lederman in a telephone interview on Monday.
