Hunt for history in the 1887 Eldridge Street Synagogue in a fun-filled family program. Become a Preservation Detective and use a magnifying glass, binoculars and notepad, along with your ingenuity and imagination. Families will sleuth their way through our historic landmark and discover the past through interactive activities and art making. Each month features a different theme and reveals the mysteries of architecture, history, and Jewish culture.

The Eldridge Street Synagogue was designed to highlight the voices of preeminent religious singers, or cantors. Lost and Found Music honors that legacy with concerts of Jewish music beloved by the Synagogue's turn-of-the-century parishioners, as well as other Yiddish musical forms that are at risk of disappearing. An annual festival highlights one musical instrument common to many, such as the accordion, fiddle or dulcimer, to build bridges across cultures.
