- For Lukas Glockner,
97 Orchard Street wasn't just another tenement; it was a
ticket to prosperity. When the German immigrant opened his
tenement in 1863, he was hoping to turn a profit by providing
cheap homes to the immigrants who were flooding into Manhattan.

- The Jewish Museum, at
Fifth Avenue and 92nd Street, is sponsored by the Jewish
Theological Seminary, and has an outstanding array of exhibitions

- Many of the children
we teach in the New York area have grandparents, great-grandparents
or even great-great-grandparents who came to the United
States from Eastern Europe during the late 19th and early
20th centuries. Of these, the vast majority came through
Ellis Island. A visit here is a trip through the personal
history of many of our students. Educational programs
with Park Rangers are available.
