Pay your respects to those who lost their lives during one of the most devastating and deplorable assaults on humanity at the Museum of Jewish Heritage. The museum was created as a living memorial to the Holocaust, designed to symbolically represent the Star of David and the six million Jews who lost their lives during that horrific time. The museum's permanent exhibits include The War Against the Jews, an exhibit on the Holocaust and Jewish Life a Century Ago and Jewish Renewal; both exhibits explore Jewish culture.
The Merkin Concert Hall at Kaufman Center shares the Kaufman complex with the Lucy Moses School and the Special Music School.

The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine is the cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. The church and must-see attraction is located in Manhattan's Morningside Heights on Amsterdam Avenue, and is the fourth largest Christian church in the world. The cathedral is nicknamed St. John the Unfinished due to it's on-again, off-again construction processes throughout the years from laying down the cornerstone in 1892 until renovations after a 2001 fire were completed in 2008. Former Mayor Ed Koch once said jokingly, "I am told that some of the great cathedrals took over five hundred years to build. But I would like to remind you that we are only in our first hundred years."
