In honor of #holocaustremembranceday yesterday we are highlighting Rabbi Eisenbach Religious Articles ✡️ in the Lower East Side.

 The Lower East Side of Manhattan was the first home to many Eastern European Jews and by 1910 they made up almost a quarter of the New York City’s population. Many of them moved into overcrowded tenements and initially set up pushcarts and tiny market stalls throughout the streets of the Lower East Side. After pushcarts were outlawed in 1939, the streets instead became lined with shops such as this one. #Analog photo from 2004 appears in our book, “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York”.
