Here’s a video of the (snowy) official ceremony January 22 opening the historic wooden “Green Synagogue” in Rezekne, Latvia after a €700,000 renovation process that lasted a decade. The building — as we reported earlier — will be a wooden architectural heritage center and cultural space with an exhibition about Jewish heritage.
There are official speeches and a performance, but the ribbon-cutting comes at 5 minutes 30 seconds — and then the film goes inside, and also shows the affixing of a mezuzah on the doorpost.
