Film Documentary: "Sons of Jacob Synagogue"

"Sons of Jacob Synagogue" an hour-long documentary produced and directed by Francesca Soans and Robert Neymeyer, explores the histories and experiences of the Jewish community in Waterloo, from the early immigrants seeking new opportunities to the present day. The film is the first in a five-part unique documentary series, "Waterloo: A History of Place." The series examines the history of Waterloo through community memories of everyday places--a synagogue, a department store, a neighborhood, a factory and a movie theater. The screening is free and open to the public.
