Opened in 1887\, the synagogue is the first great house of worship built in America by Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. Today\, it is the only remaining marker of the great wave of Jewish migration to the Lower East Side that is open to a broad public who wishes to visit Jewish New York. Exhibits\, tours\, public programs\, and education initiatives tell the story of Jewish immigrant life\, explore architecture and historic preservation\, inspire reflection on cultural continuity\, and foster collaboration and exchange between people of all faiths\, heritages\, and interests. \n\nImage Credit: Bugsy Siegel center with lawyers Jerry Giesler (left) and Byron Hanna (right)\, Everett Collection Inc.
