If you see a letter (e.g., L or Z) beside a name, it may mean that we have additional information about him or her, such as an address, job or position in the synagogue.






About The List

The congregation list was compiled from historical documents found in the Synagogue, including the Congregation's minute books and ledgers dating as far back as 1892, old seat tickets and cemetery records, as well as documents held in New York City archives.

Though not complete, the list sheds light on some of the people who worshipped at the Eldridge Street Synagogue. We are currently conducting historical research to identify other members.

Sources were often handwritten, and some names are translations from Hebrew or Yiddish. Names were also Americanized over time. That's why you'll see some peculiar spellings and multiple entries that may or may not refer to the same person.

Contact Us
If you are connected to the synagogue, but don't see your name or your relative's name, please email us. We are always eager to find oral history candidates who can help us learn more about this landmark synagogue.
