Tree of Life – Or L'Simcha Congregation, Conservative synagogue in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, United States.
The synagogue building features a prominent brick facade with towering columns and large windows that illuminate the main sanctuary for 1,250 worshippers.
Founded in 1864 by Jewish immigrants in downtown Pittsburgh, the congregation relocated to its current building in Squirrel Hill during 1953.
The synagogue maintains traditional Conservative Jewish practices while embracing modern approaches through educational programs, lifecycle celebrations, and community gatherings.
The facility shares its spaces with two other congregations, Dor Hadash and New Light, offering regular worship services and community activities.
In 2024, the synagogue began reconstruction with architect Daniel Libeskind's design, incorporating memorial elements to honor eleven members lost in 2018.
