The Museum at Eldridge Street, founded as the Eldridge Street Project in 1986, 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 located within the Eldridge Street Synagogue, which opened its doors in 1887.
Tours, exhibits, and public and educational programs tell the story of the generations that carried religious and communal customs to a new country, and celebrate America's broad cultural traditions.
The Museum at Eldridge Street is honored to share this landmark space with Congregation Kahal Adath Jeshurun, which has met continuously for Sabbath and holiday services since the building first opened more than a century ago.
