Church in the background of one scene

Anyone know anything about the church/synagogue in the back of one scene about mid-way through this movie. If you look at the very large stained glass window it is clearly a Star of David with a dove in the center of it. I'm curious to knwo where this building was and what the story was behind it being in background.

That is a Christian church in Lake Helen, Florida, a small town north of Orlando off I-4. It was built about 100 years ago, and I don't know the story about the window, but it's never been a synagogue. It's a small but beautiful old church, and they were very kind to let this small film shoot there.
