The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper, recalling the 11 people killed in last week's shootings in the synagogue, appeared on the front page of Friday with the opening words of the traditional Hebrew kaddish prayer.

The words translate to: "May his great name grow up and be hallowed."

"We thought it was appropriate," said David Shribman, editor-in-chief at HuffPost.

The mourning's prayer will be recited on Friday night, the first Sabbath since the day an antisemitic gunman opened fire inside the Tree of Life synagogue on Saturday, as part of what the Authorities have described the attack on foreigners fed hate.

Earlier this week, the Gazette paid tribute to the victims of the shooting in the synagogue by printing their names on the front page.

People on social media commented on Friday's powerful cover page.
