Baya Walls

Visiting this beautifully restored synagogue was the highlight of my recent trip to NYC. I took the docent led tour and can highly recommend it. Our docent was very knowledgeable and responsive to questions. I had seen pictures of the synagogue before, but it took my breath away when the main doors opened up and we went inside this amazing space. I originally come from a town in Germany that had a gorgeous synagogue in the same style but it was destroyed. Seeing the Eldridge Street Synagogue in all of her glory was a wonderful experience, but also showed what was lost in those terrible times. Yet the Jewish people and their rich culture is surviving and thriving, and this gives hope for the future.
