It’s 1910 in Burlington, Vermont, and artist Ben Zion Black is struggling to complete his new work: an expansive religious mural for the Chai Adam Synagogue. The day before the unveiling, the community is aflutter as rumors abound, preparations are made, and nerves are frayed. Will the mural be a cause for rejoicing… or something else? Join us for this universal tale of artistic passion, assimilation, and cultural survival. Based on the true story behind the Lost Shul Mural (www.lostshulmural.org)
