Sorry!
No performances are currently available.
Join us for a screening of The Commandment Keepers, a documentary in progress that tells the dramatic story of an Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation, a highly observant African-American synagogue founded in 1919 by Rabbi Wentworth A. Matthew in Harlem, where it thrived for more than 90 years.
The film presents a people caught between two often conflicting worlds, black and Jewish, who continue to hang on to their beliefs and identity: in their words, “by a thread”—and a grasp of steel. Panel discussion to follow screening.
