“Beauty and the Beast” actor Josh Gad wrote about attending services at Tree of Life when he went to school in Pittsburgh and added, “I don’t know what to say anymore or how to say it. Words have clearly lost all meaning because we are doing NOTHING to stop incocent masses of people in schools, Churches and now Temples from being killed in droves.”

Broadway star Ben Platt said the following in a political message:

We can’t go to the movies
We can’t go to church
We can’t go to synagogue
We can’t go to a mosque
We can’t go to a concert
We can’t go to school
We can’t go to work
So we have to go to the polls. ?#GunSenseCandidates

“Seinfeld” actor Jason Alexander said he had “no words” following the attack, adding, “Or rather, there are words that would bring change, but our leaders don’t have the courage to say them. So, all we can do is say prayers. #TreeOfLifeSynagogue — our hearts continue to break.”

Actress and singer Bette Midler shared her “deepest and sincere sympathies” to the families of those who died in the synagogue shooting, adding, “This horror is escalating day by day. If only we had LEADERSHIP that would actually take steps to stop it.”

Actor Henry Winkler, famous for his role in “Happy Days,” wrote a message to members of the Tree of Life synagogue who were affected by the shooting. Winkler said, “MAY THE TREE OF LIFE , in your community, grow stronger and taller and in peace .. We Winklers , like the rest of the country , are heartbroken for ALL of you.”
