Go to park pageThe Touro Synagogue is a historic synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island. It is the oldest synagogue building still standing in the United States, the only surviving synagogue building in the U.S. dating to the colonial era, and the oldest surviving Jewish synagogue building in North America. It was built in 1763 by members of Congregation Jeshuat Israel, a Jewish congregation formed in 1658 by Portuguese Marrano immigrants. The congregation had previously worshipped in private homes and rented quarters, but the growing size of the community led them to commission a permanent building. Since its restoration after damage sustained during the 18th century, it has been in continuous use as a house of worship by members of Newport's Jewish community. The synagogue was designed in the Georgian style by Peter Harrison, a noted architect who also designed Trinity Church in Boston. In 1790, George Washington visited Newport and attended services at the Touro Synagogue; his visit was widely publicized and helped solidify support for religious tolerance at a time when such views were not universal. In 1822, President James Monroe also visited Newport and attended services at Touro Synagogue; his visit reaffirmed support for religious freedom as an American ideal. In 1883, Congregation Jeshuat Israel merged with another local Jewish congregation, creating Congregation Shearith Israel. Together they continued to worship at the Touro Synagogue until 1896 when they moved to a new building on Farewell Street. The Touro Synagogue fell into disrepair after its abandonment, but was restored and reopened as a museum in 1947. Today, it is one of Newport's most popular tourist attractions and is regularly used for religious services and celebrations. It is open to the public daily for tours (except on Saturdays when Shabbat services are held) and hosts weekly educational programs.
