title: How to Regain Your Faith after Terror
description: Meet Polly Sheppard, one of three survivors of a hate crime on Monday, January 7th, 7:00 P.M. at Beth Shalom, Eisner Commons.
Polly Sheppard is one of three survivors from the attack on the Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina, which resulted in the deaths of nine parishioners, on June 17, 2015. This is a story about how hate and violence endanger the life of faith and religion, how to survive the trauma and how to tell the story. Have a conversation with Polly and learn how religious institutions can sustain the souls of its members in the aftermath of the unthinkable. Polly has spoken all over the country and at the Democratic National Convention in 2016.
