Celebrate the women in your life and throughout history at Eldridge Street with Alhambra! Alhambra creates exciting arrangements of historical Judeo-Spanish wedding music, love songs, and instrumental dances on the oud, violin, shawm, dumbek (middle-eastern drum), riq, def, and bendir. Join us in our spectacular Main Sanctuary to experience the joy of Judeo-Spanish music, with special songs to honor Women's History Month and the Purim season.
The Museum at Eldridge Street is housed in the beautiful restored Eldridge Street Synagogue, the first synagogue in America purpose-built by immigrants from Eastern Europe. While its first congregants were from Russia, Poland, Lithuania and other Eastern European countries, they wanted a building that hearkened back to the Golden Age of the Jewish Diaspora in Spain and North Africa. Reminiscent of this Golden Age of Jewish History, Alhambra's story told through their music exemplifies the narrative that Eldridge Street's original congregants wanted to tell through their choice of Moorish Revival architecture.
