A Manhattan synagogue is celebrating a milestone Sunday.
It's been 130 years since the first cornerstone at the Eldridge Street Synagogue was laid.
To mark the occasion, the Synagogue is hosting a day-long festival for the entire family, featuring tours of the historic building, a photo booth, art and music.
Eldridge Street opened its doors in 1887 and recently underwent renovations to restore its former glory.
"This synagogue is the first great house of worship built by Jewish immigrants in America," said Amy Stein-Milford, deputy director of Museum at Eldridge Street. "So it is historically significant and also just beautiful. It was built to be both a symbol of the Jewish community here and also to demonstrate their pride in being American."
"As New York City changes, immigrant communities come," said Rachel Serkin, senior educator at the museum. "They leave their buildings behind and then new communities come in. And we are a synagogue in Chinatown today.”
The festival is open to the public and ends at 4 p.m.
