Lower East Side: Then & Now
May 25, 2008 |
On This public walking tour, your knowledgeable guides will take you inside some of the area's best known sacred sites, from the spectacular to the plain and simple. You'll see where immigrants went to shul (synagogue) and how a new generation is carrying on these traditions. Visit Bialystoker Synagogue, the largest active Orthodox congregation on the Lower East Side, America's most famous immigrant neighborhood, and a stop pn the Underground Railroad. See Beth Hamedrash Hagadol, once home of the largest Russian Jewish Congregation and home to the only Chief Rabbi in the USA. Tour a Shtiebl (one room house of prayer). See Kehila Kedosha Janina, the only Romaniote synagogue in the Western Hemisphere. |
