Greek Jewish Synagogue & Museum of New York

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
Join Museum Director Marcia Ikonomopoulous and 88.1 FM's Richard Solomon through a fascinating audio journey discussing the Greek Jewish experience in America. Located below Manhattan's skyscrapers, just around the block from today's Chinatown on the historic Lower East Side of New York City lies a hidden treasure few know about. A 2,000-year-old culture virtually unknown, even to it's neighbors. A tiny group. A minority within a minority. They are called Romaniotes. An obscure branch of Judaism, which few Jews have ever heard of, with traditions dating back to Roman times. The founders of this community are the descendants of Jews who, after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D., were sent on a slave ship to Rome. Instead, a storm forced them to land in Greece, where over the next 2,000 years, they developed uniquely different ethnic and religious customs adopting many local customs while maintaining their religious identity. Today, all these years later, you can visit the only synagogue in the Western Hemisphere of this, obscure Jewish community. The Kehila Kedosha Janina Synagogue and Museum. Still operating in it's original form since 1927. The synagogue is open for Saturday services at 9:00 a.m. and on holidays. The Museum is open from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sundays, or please contact us if you wish to have a special appointment.
