 Museum at Eldridge StreetSynagogue Soiree

Dust off your wingtip shoes, slip on a flapper dress, or don a fedora for a 1920s Synagogue Soiree at the Museum at Eldridge Street. This Wednesday, February 23 join Pratt Historic Preservation students Nikki Westfall and Chelsea Dowell (organizers of the event) and travel back in time.

Channel the Roaring Twenties, when the Eldridge Street Synagogue was home to a new generation of renowned rabbis, businessmen, and the occasional artist and actor. (Edward G. Robinson, Paul Muni and Ben Shahn were all rumored to have worshipped here.) Enjoy period food (think pickles, olives, tea sanwiches), a beer tasting, live music, and soak in the atmosphere of our magnificent landmark space.
