About a month ago, Mollie Pier invited my wife and I to brunch at her house. She also invited David Silverstein, a friend who first introduced me to Mollie. David's a gay orthodox Jew who was one of the subjects in the film, Trembling Before G-d, which explored the subject of being both a religious Jew and a homosexual - and how to make peace with two seemingly conflicting worlds. After years of struggle, David seems to be finding peace. But David's mother passed away four years ago and he recently put his aging father into an assisted living facility in his hometown of Chicago. His father, after losing his wife of 52 years, has given up on life. And now David is weighed with the burden of a father who no longer wants to live. Unsure if there's anything else he can be doing to help his father, he turned to Mollie for help.
