Walking Tour: Social Activism in the Lower East Side – SOLD OUT
Join the Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute for a walking tour of the Lower East Side with Jonathan Goldstein! We'll visit locations that explore the intersection of the Jewish immigrant experience and social activism, including the Henry Street Settlement, The Forward Building, and the Educational Alliance. We'll also learn about what daily life was like for Jewish immigrants on Orchard Street and Allen Street. The tour runs about two hours, and includes a snack break stop to taste some delicious pickles!
The tour takes place using NYC sidewalks and is accessible to participants with various levels of mobility. There may be cracks and normal wear-and-tear present on the sidewalks.
