Restoring Tomorrow

March 29, 7:35: Q&A filmmaker Aaron Wolf

“Spectacular! A wakeup call for a generation.” (The Times of Israel)

Director Aaron Wolf’s personal journey of rediscovery dovetails with real life when he learns about the run-down Wilshire Boulevard Temple, once a Los Angeles treasure, built by original Hollywood moguls in the 1920s. Through steadfast determination and powerhouse fundraising efforts, Wolf’s community does the impossible: raising millions of dollars to return the decrepit temple to its original majesty and vibrancy. And along the way, these dedicated congregation members also restore the future of the local Jewish community, at a time when religious institutions are losing members and closing their doors at an alarming rate.
