Daniel Jacobs heads to Israel for his junior year abroad and falls for Jerusalem’s Old City and for Shoshana, an Israeli woman who changes everything. From a simple rooftop, religion becomes part of his identity as he confronts the tragic complexity of the Israeli-Palestinian struggle. Over four decades, through marriage and divorce, career and travel, he returns to Jerusalem again and again. "A Rooftop in Jerusalem" makes the headlines human and the Old City unforgettable.
