On Tuesday, November 19 at 4pm, Rabbi Jeffrey Myers of Congregation Tree of Life, will engage in a community dialogue asking, “You Can’t Buy Hope, So Where Can You Find It?”
Rabbi Myers—who survived the murderous rampage of October 27, 2018, that killed 11 people—became the face of the largest antisemitic attack in US history. Since then, he has set about sending the key message that love is stronger than hate. He contends that a lack of understanding of our neighbors leads to fear and sometimes loathing, which can lead to acts of violence.
Myers received the Heroes designation from CNN, a Rescuer of Humanity medal from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Rescuer of Humanity from Values in Action, the John E. McGrady Award for Community Service from the Heinz Foundation, and the Ronald H. Brown Leadership Award from the Urban League.
Kosher food will be provided.
