ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER'S
the urban immigrant ex-
perience. Housed in an actual
tenement, the museum has a
variety of year-round cultural
programs, tours, and exhibits,
all of them designed to pro-
vide visitors with an authen-
tic view of tenement life on
the Lower East Side.
For the Jewish traveler, the
Tenement Museum's walking
tour offers an unusual
journey back through time,
giving modern visitors a
chance to re-enter the life of
the immigrant Jews who once
lived here in great numbers.
It offers that chance by pro-
viding a dramatic re-creation
of the life of one immigrant.
On the tour, we re-trace Mr.
Scheinberg's life on the Lower
East Side as we visit the
schools, the stores, the library,
the playground that were his
youthful landmarks.
As we go outdoors to start
our tour, Mr. Ader steps out of
character — but only for a
brief moment — to explain
that Leibush Scheinberg is
not a fictional character but
was an actual immigrant.
Museum staffers authen-
ticated all the details of his
family's life, and then Mr.
Ader, a professional actor,
mastered the role.
The explanation over, he
steps back in character and
becomes the young Jew who
once lived in a nearby tene-
ment and grew up on the
streets of the Lower East Side.
And we, the tourists,
become acquainted with the
concrete details of his life.
First we walk along Orchard,
crowded with Sunday shop-
pers out looking for bargains,
for the Lower East Side is still
a top attraction for shopping
mavens.
But Mr. Ader describes Or-
chard Street as Mr. Schein-
berg knew it. "Everything
was for sale here," he says,
standing in front of one of the
typical tenements with its
iron fire escapes. "You had
peddlars here with their
packs; you had thousands of
pushcarts — 25,000 pushcarts
were in the area — and you
had everything for sale here!"
He leads the way to Ludlow,
and shows us a building
which was once a Yiddish
theater, where the
Scheinbergs and other Jews
often attended performances,
and another at No. 5, where
the Star of David is still visi-
ble, which was once head-
quarters for the landsman-
schaft association that Mr.
Scheinberg's father's belong-
ed to. These were groups of
people who were all from the
same town in the Old Coun-
try — in this case, a Polish
village — who joined together
when they made new lives in
