The Patriots are in Pittsburgh this weekend to take on the Steelers, in a pivotal AFC match-up between old foes. However, before taking care of business on the field, Patriots Owner Robert Kraft tended to far more important personal matters off the field.

On Saturday, Kraft went to the Tree of Life Synagogue to pay his respects to those who were murdered there, and to attend service.

It was in late October that Robert Bowers entered the synagogue and opened fire, killing 11 people and wounding six more.

“Kraft reportedly then attended religious services at Rodef Shalom, where he was invited to speak by the rabbi. Kinkhabwala reported that Kraft spoke partly in Hebrew,” KDKA reported.

The Steelers will play the Patriots at Heinz Field on Sunday.
