ELDRIDGE STREET PROJECT:
Completed in 1887, Eldridge Street was the first great house of worship built
in the United States by Eastern European Jews. The landmark structure
symbolizes the experience of countless newcomers to America who have grappled
with the tension between cultural continuity and change. The not-for-profit
Eldridge Street Project was established in 1986 to restore the Synagogue, now a
National Historic Landmark, to its original grandeur, without destroying the
poignant reminders of its founders' century-long presence; and to interpret the
site with arts and education programs that breathe fresh life into the
building.
