One of the many mysteries of the Museum at Eldridge Street’s Main Sanctuary is its five-pointed stars set against a blue backdrop. Why not a six-point Star of David? There are a few theories: a nod to American patriotism and the U.S. flag, a reference to the descendants of biblical patriarch Abraham being as countless as the stars, or a reminder of the Jewish wedding tradition of standing beneath the night sky. However you interpret them, the stars add another layer of beauty and meaning to this remarkable space.

Which theory is your favorite? Come inspect for yourself. Book your visit at eldridgestreet.org
