We are highlighting some of our favorite films from past seasons along with filmmaker interviews and other special programming.

Our current selection is from our Seventh Season, RAISE THE ROOF. This is the inspiring story of artists Rick and Laura Brown who set out to rebuild Gwodziec, a magnificent wooden eighteenth century synagogue in Poland that was later destroyed by the Nazis. Their vision inspired hundreds of people to join them, using their hands, old tools and techniques to bring Gwodziec’s history, culture, science, and art back to life.

On June 17, Taube Heritage Tours is presenting a special webinar with Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblet, director of the Polin Museum where reconstructed roof is housed. Kirshenblatt-Gimblett will be speaking about RESILIENCE: JEWISH MUSEUMS IN UNCERTAIN TIMES.

RAISE THE ROOF can be streamed on Amazon. To join the webinar, register here.
