be used for religious services as well as being open as a tourist attraction exemplifying the
services that were performed in a previous era and continue to the current day.
This organization; Beth Hamedrash Hagodol Of New York Restoration Inc., was formed
at 60
and has taken upon itself the' monumental task of restoring the landmark building located
Norfolk Street, New York, NY. This building housed the congregation on the lower east side of
The
Manhattan, City ofNew York, by the name of Congregation Beth Hamedrash Hagodol.
literal translation of Beth Hamedrash Hagodoi is;
Beth - house
Hamedrash - of study / prayer
Hagodol - the big one
on June 17,
This Gothic Revival former Baptist church was built in 1850, and purchased
1885 by the oldest Russian Jewish Orthodox congregation in America.
The main window was later blown out in a storm, and subsequent storms damaged the
partially exposed interior. In 2003, the National Trust for Historic Preservation designated the
building an endangered historic site. By 2006 $1 million of an estimated required $3.5 million
had been raised (in the form of pledges), for repairs to the structure.
Beth Hamedrash Hagadol is the first Eastern European synagogue founded in New York
City and the oldest Orthodox Russian Jewish congregation in the United States. Founded by
Russian American Jews in 1852, it included both a rabbinic family court and a group devoted to
daily study of the Talmud. They were formally organized - 127 years ago - under the religious
corporation law ofNew York, on January 18, 1881.
In 1885 the congregation purchased its current building on 60 Norfolk Street in the Lower
East Side, a former Baptist church built 1850 in the Gothic Revival style.
From 1888 to 1902 Rabbi Jacob Joseph, the first and only Chief Rabbi ofNew York City,
was the congregation's rabbi. Harry Fischel was the congregation's Vice President until 1902.
In 1952 Rabbi Ephraim Oshry, one of the few European poseks -(literal translation - legal
decisor) to survive The Holocaust, became the synagogue's rabbi, a post he retained for 50 years.
He authored a five-volume religious response to the Holocaust. A one-volume version in
English won a National Jewish Book Award. He died on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 28, the second
day of the Jewish New Year, in Mt. Sinai Hospital at the age of 89. He designated his son-in-law
Rabbi Mendel Greenbaum, to succeed him.
The Project
A historic preservation group, the Lower East Side Conservancy, recently took the
initiative to help restore the synagogue to its former glory. This is why this organization was
formed.
Costs for the restoration ofBeth Hamedrash Hagadol are estimated at $3.5 million. So
far, $1 million has been raised, (in the form of pledges), including $750,000 allocated in next
year's budget of The City ofNew York, to help fund a new visitor's information center and
community space. Initial funding will go primarily toward exterior work, including restoration of
outside doors, window and roof repairs, as well as interior plastering. The second, and larger

phase of work will target asbestos removal, structural stabilization, new floors and wiring and
restoration ofmurals.
The conservancy, who has been helpful in getting our project going, has outlined a plan
for self-sufficiency once the restoration is completed.
The central element will be the visitor's center, stocked with informational materials and
serving as a meeting point for walking tours. Workers will staffthe center to assist
tourists with answers on everything from the building's history and the area to where to
find the best bagels and knishes.
2. Part two ofthe plan will see space in the building set aside for a series of cultural
programs, including permanent and rotating exhibitions. A meeting room will double as a
venue for concerts and lectures.
3. The third portion will be the establishment of a community center for a neighborhood that
is short of public meeting space.
Other undertakins
In the future the organization might undertake to solicit donations from notable
philanthropists, and disburse such grants to other charities, if - and only if- such
recipient is a tax exempt charitable organization as set forth in Section 501 (c)(3) of the
Internal, and there are such funds available that are not needed for the up-keep of the
building.

other surprising tale of longevity is occurring at the Beth Hamedrash Hagadol
Synagogue on Norfolk St. on the Lower East Side. In recent years, the temple suffered a
series of setbacks, including eroding membership and interior damage from storms that
soaked the partially exposed interior after the main window was blown out in a
indstorm. Conditions were so bad that, in 2003, the National Trust for Historic
Preservation designated the structure an endangered historic site. Just when it seemed
he synagogue's flame was about to snuff out like the Hanukkah lamp, it has recently
sparked back to life.
historic preservation group, the Lower East Side Conservancy, recently took the
~ initiative to help restore the synagogue to its former glory.
he building at 60 Norfolk St. was purchased in 1852 by a group of Russian and Polish
immigrants, Housing the oldest Russian Orthodox Jewish congregation in the country, the
structure was designated a landmark in 1967.
a part of its rebirth, the synagogue hosted an unusual reunion last Sunday. More than
1 I100 descendants of a Lithuanian Jewish family gathered for the first time in the
!synagogue's basement space. They were cousins of the synagogue's congregants from
more than a century ago. Many were meeting each other for the first time.
"This is much more than a family reunion," said Rabbi Ben-Zion Saydman, whose tireless
research uncovered a diaspora of family members spread over 27 states and four
ountries. "I've been working on this genealogical project since I was in high school."
ydman's great-grandfather, whose name is listed on a worn plaque inside the
sanctuary's entrance, was the president of the synagogue at the turn of the last century.
Saydman's research uncovered nine branches of relatives descended from the Aug family
of Telz in Lithuania.
1 Saydman stood on a platform in the middle of the room as crowds of children, parents
and the elderly slowly filed in and took seats.
"The last time that there was any kind of gathering like this with all branches of the family
as probably 130 years ago," he observed.
,
their
In addition to meeting for the first time, family members had the chance to gather in
ancestral synagogue, where relatives began worshipping in 1871.

;think we're all dusty-musty history," she told Kaplan. At the same time, visitors were
ralking into the office of the Lower East Side Business Improvement District looking for
information on the area's long Jewish history and culture. The conservancy's restoration,
funding and educational initiatives took root.
Costs for the restoration of Beth Hamedrash Hagadol are estimated at $3.5 million. So far,
$1 million has been raised, including $750,000 allocated in next year's city budget to help
fund a new visitors' information center and community space. Initial funding will go
,pr[marily toward exterior work, including restoration of outside doors, window and roof
,T
repairs, as well as interior plastering. The second, larger phase of work will target
asbestos removal, structural stabilization, new floors and wiring and restoration of murals.
~he conservancy has outlined a three-part plan for self-sufficiency once the restoration is
completed. The central element will be the visitor's center, stocked with informational
materials and serving as a meeting point for walking tours. Workers will staff the center to
assist tourists with answers on everything from the building's history and the area to
where to find the best bagels and knishes.
1Part two of the plan will see space in the building set aside for a series of cultural
programs, including permanent and rotating exhibitions. A meeting room will double as a
~enue for concerts and lectures.
he third portion will be the establishment of a community center for a neighborhood that
is short of public meeting space.
fLast Sunday, the synagogue's Rabbi Mendl Greenbaum gave a tour of the spacious
isanctuary. Silence infused the cavernous space and a musty smell mingled with dust. Soot
covered the floor, the pews and the bimah - a platform in the middle of the space. The
walls on either side of the ark - where the Torah scrolls were once stored until services
were moved to the basement - were decorated with a mural. An intricate metal
Ichandelier hung from a ceiling of flaking paint.
h'It's like building a new building within the boundaries of the old building," Rabbi
Greenbaum said, standing in a shaft of light streaming down from the large windows. He
estimated that, depending on the success of fundraising and the pace of work, the
, restoration could finish in four years.
lis he spoke, Rabbi Saydman was downstairs, projecting old photographs of Aug
ancestors onto a screen. Two 10-year-old girls, Victoria Gamer and Ranya Cooper, sat
!together watching. The pair met at camp this summer and became friends. When camp
`ended they went home, only to return to Sunday's reunion to discover they were cousins.
