Nasser Weddady Comforts Boston Blast Victims with Personal Story
President Obama spoke at an interfaith memorial service for the victims of the bombings in Boston on Thursday.
He was joined by a litany of religious figures from around the Boston area — Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and Muslim faiths.
One of those who spoke was Nasser Weddady. He is chair of the New England Interfaith Council and offered a personal story from when he was a child in Syria to help provide comfort to those shaken by Monday’s attacks.
