New York City's magnificent Eldridge Street Synagogue was built in 1887 in response to the great wave of Jewish immigrants who fled persecution in eastern Europe. This book discusses themes, people, and trends at various moments in the synagogue's history, particularly during its heyday from 1887 until the 1930s.

New York Jews, so visible and integral to the culture, economy and politics of America's greatest city, has eluded the grasp of historians for decades. This book presents the research on the interpretation of a Jewish urban community at once the largest in Jewish history and most important in the modern world.
