Review:

Eldridge Street Synagogue Museum preserves the National Historic Landmark synagogue of the same name, located within Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood. The synagogue was founded in 1877 as one of the nation's first Ashkenazi Jewish synagogues, housed within a Moorish Revival building designed by architects Peter and Francis William Herter. It was extensively renovated in 2007 and opened to the public as a museum chronicling the history and culture of Jewish populations in the United States. Informative guided tours are offered by the museum, highlighting Jewish immigration in the Lower East Side and other regions of Manhattan since the 19th century. The museum may be accessed for free on Mondays as part of a pay-what-you-wish initiative, though donations are strongly recommended if possible.
