27. Zak Ebrahim is the son of a terrorist

Zak Ebrahim's first memories were of a dad who was playful and made the family laugh. But at the age of 7, Zak's father committed an act of hate so radical that he was publicly thanked by Osama Bin Laden. On November 5th, 1990 El Sayyid Nosair shot and killed Rabbi Meir Kahane, the leader of the Jewish Defense League. He was also convicted and sent to prison for his involvement in the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center that killed six people. After moving 20 times in 20 years, Zak changed his name and started a new life, taking painful lessons from the radicalization that surrounded his youth, and forging his own peaceful path of empathy and unity for all human-kind.
