**IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE SOCIAL GROUP CULTURE FOR THE NON-CULTURED, YOU MUST JOIN IT AT http://culturecircle.meetup.com/3/calendar/7216328/AND BUY YOUR TICKET THROUGH BROWNPAPERTICKETS TO COME TO THIS TOUR.
Join Culture for the Non-Cultured (http://culturecircle.meetup.com/3/), a 2,300+ free social group, for a guided tour of the building that used to be called the Eldridge Street Synagogue.
The Synagogue, the first great house of worship built by East European Jews in America, was built way back in 1887. In the 1980's, the building was closed down for a 20-year restoration project. It was reopened in December, 2007 as "the Museum at Eldridge Street."
The Museum is no longer a house of worship, but instead invites visitors to learn "about architecture, about American-Jewish history, their own roots on the Lower East Side and the common bond of immigration that links so many Americans," according to the museum's website.

What is Culture for the Non-Cultured (http://culturecircle.meetup.com/3/)?
Do you live in New York City -- with tons of culture right in your own backyard -- but see Superman Returns and other blockbusters, stuff you could see anywhere?
Culture for the Non-Cultured participates in 2-3 cultural activities per month -- including theater, art galleries, museums, walking tours, aquariums, and historical homes. Each event brings in 20-60 people.
Usually, we eat afterwards ... because nothing builds community like sitting around a table full of calories!
