Spotlight: Repairing the World: Stories from the Tree of Life - Film Screening

potlight Screening!

Repairing the World documents the incredible community response of Pittsburgh, PA over the three years that followed the devastating Tree of Life Synagogue massacre that killed eleven people. In this emotional and affirming film, we meet survivors, families of the victims, and diverse community members –clergy, civic leaders, students, educators, and sports figures – who stand together to affirm love in the face of hate. This brave community examines systemic vulnerabilities and works to counter antisemitism, racism, hate speech, and gun violence. The film shines a light on how a community can heal after trauma and become true neighbors and allies.
