Notes

True North: The Last Minyan – A Belfast Jewish Story tells of the disappearing world of the Belfast Jewish community, as seen from the inside.
Filmmaker Aaron Black observes the ageing community as it struggles to gather the 10 men or ‘Minyan’ needed for a prayer service.
The film, to be shown on BBC One Northern Ireland on Monday, 10 March at 10.35pm, explores the reasons why keeping the synagogue open and the community going is so important to those that remain. Small Jewish communities are dying all over the UK; this is the story of one of them.
This look at Jewish life in Northern Ireland was produced and directed by Aaron Black, who grew up in the community and had his Bar Mitzvah in Belfast, but like many of his generation stopped going to synagogue. Now, 20 years later, he goes back to where his father, Michael Black, is the residing chairman.
Services have been held in Northern Ireland since the 1860s. At its peak, the Belfast Jewish community had around 1,500 members - now it is down to less than 80.
