The Museum at Eldridge Street
New York City , New York

The Museum at Eldridge Street is housed in the historic Eldridge Street Synagogue. Built in 1887, it is an architectural marvel and a symbol of immigrant aspirations realized. This awe-inspiring Moorish, Gothic and Romanesque building is the first grand synagogue purpose-built by Eastern European Jewish immigrants in the United States. Visitors can tour the National Historic Landmark and learn about its time as a cultural hotspot in the Jewish Lower East Side, to its decades of decay, to its rebirth as a 21st-century Museum in present day Chinatown. Exhibits, tours, public programs, and education tell the story of Jewish immigrant life, explore architecture and historic preservation, inspire reflection on cultural continuity, and foster collaboration and exchange between people of all faiths, heritages, and interests.
