The Tenement Museum, based in New York City, centers on the experiences of working-class residents who moved to the city from other countries and parts of the country. It presents how their labor contributed to the growth of New York and the United States, using these narratives to illuminate patterns in history. The organization operates within the museum and historic sites sector and aims to foster a broader, more inclusive sense of American identity by examining moments of inclusion and exclusion in the past. Its offerings are designed to help audiences engage with complex historical issues with empathy and nuance, informing discussions about contemporary social questions. In 2024, the museum introduced a program series called Lived Religion, which includes a High Holidays tour, reflecting ongoing program expansion.
