RAISING THE ROOF: 

A FILM ABOUT AN IMPROBABLE DREAM

THIS Friday, Aug. 28, 6:30PM / NOTE TIME!

with an introduction by Melanie Goldberg

Join us for a special screening of Raise the Roof, an inspiring documentary that brings Jewish history back to life. The film follows an international team of artists and students as they rebuild the magnificent, 18th-century wooden roof of Poland's lost Gwoździec Synagogue.

Armed only with period hand tools, traditional paint recipes, and raw determination, they recreate a masterpiece destroyed during World War II. Come celebrate Jewish resilience, historic craftsmanship, and the breathtaking beauty of a recovered heritage.
