Hello PT Members, Friends, Supporters and Partners!

At noon this Friday, November 9, the Boston Jewish Film Festival is screening In Our Son's Name.

The film has already been shown on campuses nationwide and at Film Festivals all over the world. In addition, it has been broadcast on PBS stations nationwide. This Friday, you will have a chance to view the film and, following the screening, to attend a Q&A with the Rodriguez family.

In Our Son's Name presents an intimate portrait of Phyllis and Orlando Rodriguez, co-founders of September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, whose son, Greg, died with thousands of others in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The award-winning film also features Talat Hamdani, whose heroic son, Mohammad Salman, perished rescuing others yet he was wrongly deemed a suspect due to his Muslim faith. The bereaved parents choose reconciliation and nonviolence over vengeance and begin a transformative journey that both confirms and challenges their convictions.

Get your tickets HERE and share the news about this upcoming event with your circle of friends.

See you there!
