If you’re able, please donate. The creator of this particular fundraiser works for Bet Tzedek Legal Services, which is a Jewish organisation devoted to fighting economic justice. She writes that you can also send money directly to:
Tree of Life – Or L’Simcha Congregation
5898 Wilkins Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15217
*It’s customary in Judaism to make donations in multiples of 18 as to bless the recipient(s) with good health and long life (the numerical value of the Hebrew word “chai” which means “life”), but by all means, just give what you can.
Here’s a link for anyone who doesn’t want to give money through Facebook. It’s been passed around some Sikh Facebook groups and several people from my community have been able to donate through it.

From a Bengali Jew to the Sikh community, thank you ❤
You can also donate to HIAS (which used to stand for “Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society,” because it was founded in 1881), the organization that the shooter blamed for bringing in dangerous refugees shortly before he attacked the synagogue during its National Refugee Shabbat services.
