Tour of Jewish Harlem

Sunday, June 25, 2017 1 Tammuz 5777

11:00 AM - 1:00 PMSouth West Corner of 125th Street and Fifth Avenue

In 1900, 177,000 Jews lived in Harlem. There are few physical vestiges remaining of that vibrant period of Jewish American settlement, but careful observation, a willing imagination and accompanying narrative will evoke this past community.

Former synagogues, such as Ohab Zedek - pulpit of Cantor Yossele Rosenblatt - and the Commandment Keepers, a black congregation, will be visited as well as residences of famous Jewish personalities. Additionally, tour educator Barry Feldman will discuss general Harlem history, architecture and recent developments in the area.

This is a moderate walking tour, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. We suggest comfortable shoes and a bottle of water. Suggested donation per person: $15 for members, $20 for non-members. Registration closes on June 20th. 

Sorry, Registration has ended.
