The Jewish Community in Ulster


Take a rare glimpse into the thoughts and lives of members of Belfast's Jewish Community during the 1960s.

Hear the thoughts of Mr Hill and Mr Endlander as they reflect on life in Belfast. Questions are interspersed with mostly silent scenes of young people at prayer and play. Many of these youths would grow up to leave Belfast in search of work. After a glimpse of the old synagogue in Shaftesbury Square follow Ulster Television's reporter to Somerton Road as he gives a brief tour of the synagogue designed by architect Eugene Rosenberg. These rushes are courtesy of the UTV Archive.
