... A prominent Orthodox house of worship, the Bia-
lystoker Shul is one of the few remaining synagogues on
the Lower East Side. Its interior — the Holy Ark,
paintings and massive wooden pews — was designed to
resemble the Great Synagogue in Bialystok, burned by
the Nazis in 1941. In 1978, the Bialystoker Synagogue
in New York celebrated its one hundredth anniversary
and, at the same time, was designated an historic land-
mark by the City and State of New York. For many
years, its spiritual leader was Rabbi Jacob Eskolsky,
who died in 1931. His son, Rabbi Michael Eskolsky,
succeeded him until his death in 1951. ...Connected nodes
