Discover the 1887 Eldridge Street Synagogue, a breath-taking National Historic Landmark located on New York City's Lower East Side.

Unlike a traditional museum, we offer an intimate, authentic portal to the past for people of all backgrounds. Step into the footsteps of the synagogue's immigrant founders. Explore digital displays. Discover how the immigrant experience transformed and continues to transform communities today.

125th Anniversary Celebration

Beginning this fall, the Museum will present a yearlong series of special activities that mark the 125th anniversary of the Eldridge Street Synagogue, a National Historic Landmark.
