Escape from Room 18 Screening & Discussion With John Daly

Past event
May 19, 2019, 4 to 6 PM

Sunday May 19 4-6pm at Beth Jacob Synagogue 10 Harrison Ave. Montpelier

Motivational speaker, John Daly, was raised Jewish in Florida and feeling like an outcast as a teen, he joined a neo-nazi gang. When gang leaders later tried to kill him for being Jewish, the ADL helped him move to Israel for safety. He has since traveled all over the world speaking out against hate and a documentary, 'Escape from Room 18' was made about him and his trip to make amends at concentration camps with another former neo-nazi.

On Sunday May 19 from 4-6pm Beth Jacob Synagogue will be showing the documentary and John Daly, who has traveled from Israel, will be speaking about his experiences and doing a Q+A. This is a particularly important and relevant event since John speaks about the importance of giving people in hate groups a way to leave the group and see the humanity in others.
