The funerals now begin for the eleven who were shot down at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last Saturday.

This week President Trump visited the site amidst protests against what many felt were his inflamatory words.

Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush spoke with Rabbi Yiar Robinson with the Congregation Beth Emeth synagogue in Wilmington about the shooting and the rise of anti-Semitism.
