This comic yet heartfelt documentary chronicles the controversial renovation of a 100-year-old Syrian synagogue in Jerusalem. When the beadle makes a unilateral decision to remove memorial plaques that have hung in the synagogue for years, the congregation takes matters into its own hands, threatening to spark a conflict of almost biblical proportions.
