Did You Know: Kehila Kedosha Janina is the last Greek Jewish synagogue in New York City. Located at around the corner from the Tenement Museum at 280 Broome Street, the synagogue serves a congregation of Romaniotes, Jews sent on a slave ship to Rome after the destruction of Jerusalem’s Second Temple. During the voyage, a storm forced them to land in Greece, where over the next 2,000 years, they developed a unique set of ethnic and religious customs. Kehila Kedosha Janina was founded by Greek Jewish immigrants in 1906 and is the only synagogue in the Western Hemisphere still using the Romaniote liturgy. Constructed in 1926, the congregation’s current site is a New York City Historic Landmark and home to the Synagogue Museum.   TENEMENT TALKS January 22: The Jewish-Americans Watch a special segment from the PBS series about Lower East Side.
