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.
