Lower East Side: Then and Now Walking Tour Held 6/6

Enjoy seeing sacred sites where immigrants worshiped - from the spectacular to the simple. You'll also learn how Jewish traditions are being carried on at these sites today. Visit the Bialystoker Synagogue, the largest active Orthodox congregation on the Lower East Side today; the exterior of Beth Hamedrash Hagadol - former home of the largest Russian-Jewish Orthodox congregation in the United States; and Kehila Kedosha Janina, the only Romaniote (Greek heritage) synagogue in the Western Hemisphere. You will also tour a shtiebl (one room house of prayer).
