Nusach Hari B’nai Zion presents Sammy Rangel: From A Tortured Child to a Forgiving Adult

Sunday, September 17

7:30 pm

Nusach Hari B’nai Zion

650 N. Price, 63132

What price does one put on a childhood lost to heinous physical, emotional and sexual abuse? How does one find forgiveness and allow himself to live a life of purpose and helping others? Sammy Rangel tells his captivating life story with brutal honesty, demonstrating his courage as a warrior to shed his anger and hate for the weapons of compassion and helping others to learn to forgive and believe that change is possible.

The theme of forgiveness is paramount as we enter the High Holiday period and the Day of Atonement. We reflect on the past year and ask for our sins and their consequential punishments to be erased.

To be honored as the 2017 Hatebraker Hero, Mr. Rangel will be introduced by Susan Balk, founder of St. Louis-based Hatebrakers and recipient of the 2017 Unsung Hero Award by the St. Louis Jewish Light.
