The Eldridge Street Project is preserving the Eldridge
Street Synagogue as a site for historical reflection, aesthetic inspiration, and
spiritual renewal. In this powerful setting, programs for adults, school children
and families explore cultural continuity and change, instill respect for Jewish
traditions and practices, and draw analogies between the Synagogue's immigrant
founders and contemporary immigrants. As steward of this National Historic Landmark,
the Eldridge Street Project uses the building as a learning center for exploring
architecture and historic preservation, synagogue life and customs; a gathering
place for inter-group experiences; and a showcase for art and cultural experiences
that draw on Jewish and humanistic themes. |
