FILM:

THE STORY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE

THROUGH THE ARCHITECTURE

OF THE SYNAGOGUE

Starting in Jerusalem, this film explores the historic destruction and reconstruction of the original Temple. It then moves on to synagogues throughout the world, discovering those that have survived the ebb and flow of our history and the fascinating stories of our ancestors and these buildings. As the film continues to modern times, it even brings us to a synagogue designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright in Pennsylvania.
