PITTSBURGH (AP) A virtual remembrance, an overseas concert and community service projects highlight the many plans for commemorating the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history on the shootings one-year anniversary Sunday.

The attack killed 11 worshippers and wounded seven at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburghs Squirrel Hill neighborhood.

The key to the day is to remember those who were lost innocent, beloved, sorely missed pillars of the community, said Stephen Cohen, co-president of New Light, one of three congregations present the day of the attack.

The Tree of Life building has remained closed since the shooting. The three congregations now worship at two nearby synagogues. Last week, Tree of Life leaders unveiled their vision for the damaged building: a rebuilt space for places of worship; memorial, education and social events; and classrooms and exhibitions.
