TingFebruary 15, 2016This beautifully restored Synagogue is located in today's Chinatown, still holding service. Lower east side was what used to be the most crowded Jewish area in 1800s New York. Docent tours available.
Andrew CMay 10, 2018Visited for a private event and is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I quickly walked thru the museum (since bathroom is downstairs, thru the exhibits) and all history readings seemed very in depth, plus many artifacts!!
