00:00As soon as he got close enough, he slapped the back of the victim's head, knocking off his yarmulke.
00:06Right now the search is on for a white gunman who entered a black church last night and started shooting.
00:12If you think about who in this country has in their houses of worship faced violent hatred, it's Jews and it's black Christians.
00:25Anti-Semitism is on the rise.
00:28Ain't nobody want to deal with the racism that is rooted in America.
00:35So I wanted to organize a partnership between my synagogue and a black church nearby.
00:45The elephant, as they say in the room, is can you worship together?
00:48Yeah.
00:48This is our moment to create a symbol where we're not judged by the color of our skins or the wealth of our pocket.
00:58One thing we can promise each other, we will not walk away.
01:05Someone came to me and told me enough of the Jesus flag.
01:08I heard kill the Jesus flag.
01:10I was offended.
01:12You're willing to accept my race, but my religion may be an issue.
01:17Please let this be unfair.
01:24That moment where you were laughing, like laughing while he was being tortured and killed, wearing a tallis, which is not what a high priest would wear, but it's a cartoon of a Jew.
01:34I know you didn't mean it.
01:36That was anti-Semitism.
01:37All I saw was my pastor, my leader, a black man, being scolded by a white woman.
01:46That when people scream anti-Semitism, the black community has been saying, but ain't nobody listening to us.
01:53We got to live with our suffering.
01:55If I'm watching the news and I hear a synagogue was vandalized, after having you all as family, it bothered me.
02:10I was like, we need to say something.
02:12We need to do something.
02:14My prayer is that this becomes a model to other communities, how to practice tolerance.
02:20This is not the ending.
02:21It's just the beginning.
02:22People talk about the problems in America, they should look here.
02:26This is the beauty of America.
02:27Like Dr. King said, the arc of history is long, but it bends toward justice.
02:31We're all created in the image of God, or as my Christian sisters and brothers would say, we're all God's children.
