Rabbi Jeffrey Myers is retiring after eight years of guiding the Tree of Life Congregation through unimaginable tragedy, including the 2018 synagogue shooting that claimed 11 lives. Though he’d only been rabbi for a year when the attack struck, Myers became a pillar of resilience, drawing strength from Psalms and blending scripture with pop culture to heal his community. He led them through funerals, the pandemic, and the gunman’s eventual death sentence — and now, with his mission complete, he’s stepping away to reunite with family in New Jersey and pursue personal passions. The congregation, poised to open a new memorial building in 2028, honors his legacy as a unifier whose steady hand helped them rebuild — and whose influence will echo as they step boldly into their next chapter.
