Talk:Eldridge Street Synagogue

message: If anyone has a picture of the building, I think one inside and one outside picture would be appropriate, however I can't find any public domain pictures on the net, so if anyone has any pics they've taken that would be very useful.

message: Eldridge street isn't exactly among the oldest East European  synagoguues built by Ashkenazi Jews.    Beth Israel Philadelphia built its Crown Street building in 1849 (philadelphia already had seen buildings erected by German and Sepahardi congregations.  San francisco was founded with two 1851 congregations, Emaneul for Germans as Sherityh Israel for Poles.  Sherith Israel put a building up in 1854.  Baltimore's B'nai Israel on Lloyd Street went up - for East European Jews - in 1876.  I'm pretty sure there were other East European buildings.  As for surviving buildings, B'nai Israel's building is still there.OldShul (talk) 13:58, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I deleted the sentence "The Eldridge Street Synagogue is the first synagogue erected in the United States by Eastern European Jews." as this is almost certainly not correct. Oncenawhile (talk) 11:25, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

message: There's been some edit warring here over the involvement of an architecture firm, with nobody doing their homework. Here's a reliable source: 
: "In New York City, the Eldridge Street Project, dedicated to preserving Jewish life at the historic Lower East Side synagogue built in 1887, has been working on its 20-year restoration project from a green perspective. ... Jill Gotthelf, an architect and associate at Walter Sedovic Architects who has worked on the restoration since 1990, said that synagogues and Jewish organizations have caught on to green building over the past few years ... because it is finally a more affordable proposition. --John Nagle (talk) 16:46, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Two Jewish cultural centers reinvent themselves for the demographics of a changing city.

Published Jan 7, 2008
The architects, Walter Sedovic and Jill H. Gotthelf, avoided scrubbing away its patina of experience. They didn’t strip the mottled gloss off the wood and start again; they softened and reflowed the old finish, retaining the magnificent antiquity of the paneling. It’s no more authentic to roll time back to 1907 than it would be to choose a day twenty years before, but Sedovic and Gotthelf’s approach has the great virtue of enshrining a narrative, of intimating what it might have felt like to seek a little grandeur here when the Lower East Side was a wriggling mass of people.
