Political Quotes

“today I wish to remember Joyce Fienberg. Joyce was 1 of the 11 people who was violently killed at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood. Joyce Fienberg spent 25 years at the University of Pittsburgh's Learning Research Center, where she focused on child development. She connected with the people she worked with and mentored graduate students. As her colleagues recalled, she was affectionately known as ``mom to all of us.'' Throughout her life, Joyce wanted to be where she was needed and where she could help. After her retirement, she became more involved in the Tree of Life Synagogue, and it became an outlet for her altruism. According to her son, she was a faithful attendee, a minyonaire, the nickname given to those members who attend the prayer quorum daily. Joyce Fienberg may no longer be with us, but her kindness and her spirit will be remembered by those she knew and whose lives she touched. ____________________”
