The film follows filmmaker Aaron Wolf's personal journey of rediscovery, guided by the narration of Wilshire Boulevard Temple's history and reconstruction.

He considered himself a “fallen-away Jew” and had drifted from the temple and his Jewish faith like much of the nation's younger generations.

[2] Weeks before their wedding, Wolf and his fiancé split, sending him back to his childhood temple to seek counsel from Rabbi Steve Leder.

It was then that Rabbi Leder shared his vision to renovate the temple, which at that point was in total disrepair and falling apart.

Most consequential for the film and its filmmaker is Alfred Wolf, Aaron's grandfather who had left Eberbach, Germany at the time that the Nazis rose to power and served as rabbi at Wilshire Boulevard Temple from 1949 to 1985.
