Summary:

"Annie Polland offers the first history of the restored Eldridge Street Synagogue - a National Historic Landmark on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the oldest major house of worship established by east European Jews in the United States. Not only is the Eldridge Street Synagogue crucial to the history of American Jewry, it bears on the larger story of religious freedom in America."--Jacket.
