Eldridge Street Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Lower East Side, Manhattan, United States.
The Eldridge Street Synagogue features a brick and terracotta facade with horseshoe arches, rose windows, and intricate Stars of David decorations.
Built in 1887, this religious center served as one of the first houses of worship for Eastern European Jews who settled in New York City.
The building combines religious services with museum exhibits that showcase the heritage of Jewish immigrants who arrived through Ellis Island.
Visitors can join guided tours hourly from 10 AM to 4 PM Sunday through Thursday, with shorter hours on Friday and closure on Saturday.
The main sanctuary includes a contemporary stained glass window created by artist Kiki Smith and architect Deborah Gans in 2007.
