When it opened in September of 1887 it was an experiment, a response to the immigrants’desire to practice Orthodox Judaism, and to do so in America, their new Promised Land. Today the Eldridge Street Synagogue is Tthe only building on the Lower East Side—once the largest Jewish city in the world—earmarked for broad and public exploration of the American Jewish experience. The Museum at Eldridge Street researches the history of the building, uncovering new ways and stories to bring the building and its history to life. Learning about the congregants and their history ties us to broader trends on the Lower East Side and in American history. To help explore these trends, the Museum at Eldridge Street asks leading scholars to lend their expertise.

  • Why the Success of Exodus in 1950S America? by Stephanie Schey Capstone Advisor: Dr. Lisa Moses Leff Spring Semester, 2011 Unive
    Why the Success of Exodus in 1950s America? By Stephanie Schey Capstone Advisor: Dr. Lisa Moses Leff Spring Semester, 2011 University Honors in Jewish Studies College of Arts and Sciences: Jewish Studies 2 Capstone Abstract The positive reception of Exodus , by Leon Uris, in mainstream America during the 1950s is a phenomenon that has been largely overlooked. Arguably too much attention has been directed towards the aftermath of the book and film, without properly situating the novel in the context of current events and public opinion on Judaism and Israel at the time of its release. In order to establish a thorough framework within which to examine the legacy of Exodus , it is essential to understand American society at the time of publication and assess the impact of current events, such as the founding of the state of Israel and the 1956 Suez Crisis, upon the novel’s audience. In so doing, we learn a great deal about America’s attitudes toward Judaism and Israel. This paper explores the climate in America that allowed for the novel's positive reception, identifying the three strongest motivational factors for reading Exodus as: 1) Israel’s portrayal in the media, 2) suburban integration, and 3) Holocaust memory. Divided into three chapters, each portion of the paper analyzes one facet of America’s changing image of Israel or Judaism at the time of the novel’s publication in 1958. 3 Introduction The novel Exodus , written by Leon Uris, was published on September 18, 1958 and commanded immediate fame. Were his words the truth, Uris’s novel could have served as a creation myth for the state of Israel, inspiring nationalism amongst world Jewry and providing heroes for a downtrodden post-Holocaust generation.
