        Bialystoker the Beautiful

        May 17 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

        • « Ecological City – Procession for Climate Solutions

        Lower East Side Jewish Conservancy

        Join us for an evening tour of the magnificent Bialystoker Synagogue, which was built in 1826 as a Methodist Church and believed to be a stop on the Underground Railroad. In 2016, Bialystoker was awarded one of ten of America’s Most Beautiful, Inspiring, and Unique Synagogues by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

        Marvel at this synagogue, resplendent in colorful murals showcasing Tiffany inspired stained glass windows. See it’s ceiling covered with rare, hand-painted and treasured mazaales – representations of the signs of the zodiac. This is one of the few surviving examples left of what once were countless Eastern European synagogues boasting these depictions. Those synagogues (and their mazaales) were destroyed by Nazi forces. The Conservancy is the only touring organization with access to this site!

        A portion of the proceeds are returned to the synagogue
