Mission:

The mission of the Museum is to restore and sustain the National Historic Landmark 1887 Eldridge Street Synagogue, and to offer cultural and educational programs that explore Jewish American traditions, history and culture; immigrant, urban, and New York City history; and the forms and language of architectural and cultural preservation.

About Us:

The Museum at Eldridge Street presents the culture, history and traditions of the great wave of Jewish immigrants to the Lower East Side drawing parallels with the diverse cultural communities that have settled in America. the Museum is based in the beautifully restored 1887 Eldridge Street Synagogue, a National Historic Landmark. Nearly lost over time, this magnificient Moorish-revivial structure has been meticulously restored to its original evocative grandeur and re-opened to the public in December 2007. Tours, exhibits and public and educational programs tell the story of the generations that carried religious and communal customs to a new country.
