sacred  spaces tourFirst Tuesday of each month
At one time no other place on earth was so densely populated with such religious diversity.




At one time no other place on earth was so densely populated with such religious and cultural diversity as NYC's Lower East Side. Here not only tolerance was developed, but as successive waves of our cultural centers: synagogues, churches, temples and mosques of all denominations and national origins with all our birthing pains and challenging times, formed a genuine knowledge of, and respect for each other and our differences. This greatly enriching American experiment continues today. Within in a few square blocks we will experience many of these often hidden significant cultural centers connecting our own hard earned fabric, and unique histories.
