The Cave Synagogue (2024)

Uganda Abayudaya (Jewish) elder J.J. Keki and his sons hike and sing their way to the cave synagogue where Jews prayed secretly during dictator Idi Amin’s reign. Keki’s father was part of the first generation of Ugandans who converted to Judaism in the 1910/20s and grew to over 8000 members before Idi Amin outlawed it in 1972.
