STANDING SILENT

A Jewish community is scandalized when journalist Phil Jacobs uncovers a pattern of child sexual abuse at the hands of prominent rabbis.  Through a multiyear investigation, Jacobs confronts both the rabbinic establishment and his own painful past.  Recipient of a Sundance Documentary Filmmaker Grant, this taboo-breaking film recounts how a courageous reporter’s pen became his sword of justice. 

 

SPEAK NO EVIL… UNLESS IT’S THE TRUTH!

A Q&A WITH Phil Jacobs and filmmaker Scott Rosenfelt will follow the screening, moderated by Rabbi Hesch Sommer, D. Min., of Jewish Family Services
