My incredibly motivated and always inspiring friends Rick and Laura Brown, founders of Hands House have spent the past 10 years reconstructing, along with a devoted team of volunteers, the actual incredibly detailed roof of an 18th century traditional Polish synagogue. All of which have been wiped off the face of the earth. The documentary is currently touring the world. I was fortunate to be able to see it at the Museum of Fine Arts. You can learn more about their journey to bring lost history back to life here.
Do check out the documentary, expertly crafted by Yari and his National Geographic photographer father Cary Wolinsky. Learn more about their past and upcoming projects on their site. You’ll see why I can’t help but rave about these people who follow their curiosity to bring the past back to life. In the process cultivating community, creativity, dedication, and a genuine larger than life sense of awe.
