Item Description
You'll get a tour of Eldridge Street Synagogue and the surrounding museum. The voucher entitles the holder to one group tour for up to 10 individuals.
The Museum at Eldridge Street is housed in the Eldridge Street Synagogue, a magnificent National Historic Landmark that has been meticulously restored. Opened in 1887, the synagogue is the first great house of worship built in America by Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. Today, it is the only remaining marker of the great wave of Jewish migration to the Lower East Side that is open to a broad public who wish to visit Jewish New York. Exhibits, tours, cultural events and educational programs 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.
The Eldridge Street Synagogue is a National Historic Landmark – one of only two synagogues so designated in New York City. The synagogue’s restoration was conducted with a “combination of rigor and affection” in the words of architecture critic Paul Goldberger. Following the restoration, the Museum received awards from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the New York State Office of Parks Recreation and Historic, along with numerous other preservation honors. Additionally, First Lady Michelle Obama designated the Museum’s docents a national treasure with a Preserve America Stewards Award.
