Hope, Healing, and Redemption: A Rite of Passage for Returning Citizens
Thursday, August 3, 2023, 7:00–8:30 pm
Beir Chapel at Central Synagogue
After sharing the stage with Bryan Stevenson in 2022, The Re-Entry Theater of Harlem (RTH) returns to formally mark the current cohort’s transition from incarceration back into their communities. Combining art, ritual, and theater, RTH creates a powerful rite of passage that helps individuals overcome the shame, stigma, and trauma of incarceration and enter a new stage of life. Join RTH Director Alex Anderson, Rabbi Hilly Haber, and members of Central’s Coming Home Program to experience this extraordinary act of healing and redemption.
