Generation to Generation� from 1886 to T L’Dor V’Dor Generation T FALL’16 L’Dor V’Dor Generation to Generation� FROM 1886 TO T L’Dor V’Dor Generation t Kate Milford Cover image: “A Pickle Vendor in the Ghetto, New York City.” Lower East Side postcard from the collection of the Blavatnik Archive. O THE PRESENT n to Generation� The Eldridge Street Synagogue embodies the Jewish concept of L’Dor V’Dor, From Generation to Generation. In its heyday, the grand sanctuary provided a place to maintain age-old traditions and also to navigate the customs of a new American home. Today it is a portal to the past, one of the only remaining markers of the Jewish immigrant community of the Lower East Side. At the same time, it is a place with a continuing and vibrant Jewish life, where new generations of musicians, writers, scholars and artists share their latest works and performances with people of all ages, cultures, nationalities and faiths. This fall, the Museum will present a notable line-up of tours, talks, concerts, family events, fi lms, and more that celebrate the wisdom of generations young and old, past and present. We will also present a festival that marks almost to the day the 1886 anniversary of the laying of the Eldridge Street Synagogue’s cornerstone. Through music, food, talks and performance we will recall what life was like for the Jewish community of the Lower East Side. I am excited to announce the opening of a new gallery space on the Museum’s entry level that will house temporary exhibits. Join us for the inaugural exhibition featuring eighteen new works by artist Mark Podwal created after his visit to Da˛browa Białostocka, the town in Poland in which his mother was born. In December, we partner with the Blavatnik Archive and will display their collection of vintage postcards of the Lower East Side that recall this area when it was the center of Jewish immigrant life. We look to our past and our roots for inspiration. We leave behind new stories and traditions for those that follow. Several lead funders made our Generation to Generation programming possible. The Museum is deeply grateful to The David Berg Foundation, the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation and the Alice Lawrence Foundation for supporting these programs which explore continuity and change between generations. Bonnie Dimun, Executive Director New Exhibitions Two exhibitions inaugurate our new gallery space Darryl Pitt Artist Mark Podwal— Kaddish for Da˛browa Białostocka Opening and Book Party: Sunday, September 18 from 3 to 5 pm On view through Thursday, December 1, 2016 Included with Museum admission Eighteen new works in acrylic and colored pencil by artist Mark Podwal inaugurate our new exhibition space. The featured works are inspired by Podwal’s recent visit to Da˛browa Białostocka, a shtetl in northeastern Poland where his mother was born. Although at one time Jews made up 78 percent of the town’s population, none remain today. A documentary fi lm about Da˛browa by Tomasz Wisniewski will be screened every day at 2 pm along with the artwork. This event also celebrates the publication of Podwal’s new book, Reimagined: 45 Years of Jewish Art. Mark Podwal’s work is represented in collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Israel Museum, and the Jewish Museum in Prague. 4 The Jewish Ghetto in Postcards: From Eastern Europe to the Lower East Side Opening: Thursday, December 15 from 6 to 8 pm On view through February 23, 2017 Included with Museum admission In the early 20th century, the Lower East Side was the most crowded neighborhood in the world. Fleeing violent persecution, large waves of newly arrived immigrants from Eastern Europe recreated a familiar environment of their previous homeland as they sought to establish new roots in America. Uniquely captured in postcards, the social media of the time, lively street scenes crowded with pickle vendors, pushcarts and horse-drawn carriages presented a stunning visual record of the “Jewish ghetto” in New York and cities throughout Eastern Europe. For many people these reproductions evoked an exotic locale like no other at the time—a place that no longer exists today. An exhibit of original postcards from the Blavatnik Archive will bring images of that by-gone era back to the Lower East Side, and highlight the continuity of Jewish street life from its Eastern European origins to its formative role at the heart of the Jewish American experience. The Blavatnik Archive is a non-profit foundation dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of primary resources that contribute to the study of 20th century Jewish and world history. More from the collections can be found at blavatnikarchive.org.

Electric lights bathed parks and sidewalks in a brilliant nighttime glow. Steel offi ce towers skimmed the heavens, and a graceful bridge united the greater metropolis.

    PHOTO ESSAY Left, a soap dish in decay. Bathroom, Grossinger’s Catskill Resort and Hotel, Liberty, NY RU I N S of th e BORSCHT BE LT A photo essay and conversation with documentary photographer Marisa Scheinfeld by Rabbi Yitzchok Frankfurter or me, looking at photographs is a different aesthetic experience from appreciating other works of art. A per- son’s reaction to a given piece is usually in response to its physical form and qualities; pleasure is derived from the F immediate sensory experience. When looking at photographs, however, the subject matter and its relationship to the world must also be taken into account. In other words, a pho- tograph cannot be experienced on a strictly sensory level but must also be processed intellectually. Merging sensory experience with intellect, though, allows room for ideology to influence the outcome. This entanglement seems inevitable when considering photographs. Because photos lend themselves to various interpretations and can tell different stories to different people, a person’s mind- set and beliefs can affect his understanding. When I viewed Marisa Scheinfeld’s magnificent photographs of the ruins of the Borscht Belt, they symbolized for me the story of the disappearing Jew in America through assimilation. Before me were grand hotels in various states of decay along with mere hints of the once prosperous Jewish guests who vacationed in them. What remains of both are truly only ruins. Yet she interprets the photos differently. “I don’t really look at it as a story of assimilation,” she tells me. “I see it as the universal story of Ameri- cans.

  • BIALYSTOKER SYNAGOGUE, 7-13 Willett Street, Borough of Manhattan• 182.6
    Landmarks Preservation Commission April 19, 1966, Number 13 LP-0181 BIALYSTOKER SYNAGOGUE, 7-13 Willett Street, Borough of Manhattan• 182.6. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 33_6, Lot 17. On March 8, 1966, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Bialystoker Synagogue and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site. (Item No. 5). Three speakers spoke in favor of designation including the repres~ntative of the Bialystoker Synagogue. The hearing was duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS This severely plain building of the late Federal Period is one of the few of its type remaining in New York City. The simple exterior, built of cut stone, is pleasing with its great strength and dignity. The three windows above three doors are framed with round arches. A low-pitched pedimented roof enframing a handsome lunette window has a very plain wooden cornice which also adds to the simple severity of the building. The front of the building has a brownstone base course which consists of a low flight of steps giving the Synagogue a solid appearance and setting it off most effectively from the street. It is interesting to note that this building shows great architectural kin­ ship to the Church of the Sea and Land except for the fact that it employs the more conventional round arched window in lieu of pointed windows. This Synagogue is a fine expression of masonry construction in the vernacular tradition.
