 Passover at Temple Israel |
Beyond the Wall Followed by Discussion with Louie Diaz
|
Thursday, March 22 at 7:00 p.m. 
Please join us as we prepare for Passover with a screening of Beyond the Wall on March 22. As our Exodus story instructs, liberation is only the first step - the challenge is living with freedom. Beyond the Wall takes a close look at the journey from incarceration to community, from behind the wall to beyond the wall, of several Massachusetts men who are attempting to rebuild their lives on the outside with little support from the system. Louie Diaz, whose dedication to helping these men is central to the film, will be present for a Q&A. Watch the trailer. Please RSVP to Tali Puterman.
