Temple Israel to host Portraits of Faith
On Nov. 7, Temple Israel in West Bloomfield will present
Portraits in Faith, an inspirational, interactive presentation
that includes photographs and oral testimonies from individ-
ual spiritual experiences around the world.
Daniel Epstein has photographed and interviewed more
than 500 people from more than 50 religions and 27 coun-
tries, creating a digital collection titled Portraits in Faith.
About the project, Emmy Award-winning documentary
producer/director Ken Burns said: “I was … completely
blown away. By its power and dignity, its implicit compassion
and yet unblinking eye.”
Epstein is a marketing and innovation consultant, who was
previously a Harley Procter marketing director at Procter
& Gamble in Cincinnati. He worked there for 21 years. It
was during his tenure at P&G that he conducted most of the
Portraits In Faith interviews.
This event will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, and is open
to all at no charge with registration. RSVP to Temple-israel.
