Public TV Premiere of Repairing the World THIS WEEK
As we prepare to commemorate five years since the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history, Repairing the World: Stories from the Tree of Life is premiering on PBS stations across the country.
Repairing the World documents Pittsburgh’s powerful community response in the aftermath of hate. Through the voices of survivors, family members, diverse residents and leaders, the film shows the power of unity in a moment of crisis, the resilience of a vibrant city, and a community working together to understand what it means to be stronger than hate.

At this challenging moment, deepening our understanding of what’s at stake and what is possible in the fight against antisemitism, racism and all forms of hate is more urgent than ever. The message of the film is clear: We can face down hate with hope, action, and solutions.
In this time of grief and peril in the aftermath of the horrific terror attacks in Israel, the resulting war against Hamas, and the humanitarian crisis and loss of innocent lives in Gaza, there is a dangerous swell of antisemitism and hate targeting Muslims and Arab Americans in our country. There are already horrendous consequences in the U.S. with the brutal murder of six-year-old Wadea Al Fayoume and the stabbing of his Palestinian mother in a hate crime attack near Chicago. As tensions rise, Samantha Woll, President of a Detroit synagogue, was stabbed to death on Saturday evening. Although the motive is unknown, there is growing fear of more violence targeting Jews, Muslims, and Arab Americans in this country.
Our compassion for one another, and our solidarity in the face of hate, is our strength. We need to see each other’s pain and listen to each other more than ever.
Thank you for your solidarity and support.
We are so grateful to the sponsors for the Repairing the World Community and Educational Campaign and the generous donors who made this film possible.
