touro synagogue印象

Learned a lot about early America. Convenient to visit. Great displays, garden and knowledgable guide.

As the oldest synagogue in the US this beautiful building has a rich history and an important part in the development of religous freeedom in the US. Designed by Peter Harrison the building is simple and elegant and is now welcomed by the relatively new visitor's center whcih provides a useful educational backdrop for your synagogue visit. We were fortunate to have May Jo as our tour guide who was infomative, enthusastic and enjoye dhsring her knowledge of the history of the displaced Jews who started the synagoue and its subsequent history. Her talk focussed on the people and events that make this such an important place in American history.The only downside was the slim number of offerings available for purchase in the museum.

Interesting attraction to visit while in Newport. Convenient, easy walk from main area of town. Our Docent was informative and gave a great overview of Colonial times.

I was unaware of the fact that there is an important synagogue in Newport. The building is simple and beautiful and the lecture given as a tour was very interesting. President Washington as well as several other US Presidents have visited this site. It is the oldest surviving synagogue in the USA.

This tour and museum was so interesting to discover facts of the early Jewish people in the area and beyond! A great discovery for history buffs

We didn't tour the synagogue because it was closed whenever we were looking for something to do in Newport. We did, however, admire it from the outside. The gardens are just beautiful and compliment the building nicely. We took a walking tour and this was one of the sites visited. Very interesting history...would be worth touring in the future.

The synagogue and the museum show what is unique about the inherent toleration of American society. This value is hardwired into the American constitution and ethos.

I'm very sorry to say that I did not come to Touro Synagogue for a tour but to pray, and, after walking a half hour from the hotel, I arrived just as services were over. The guard treated me like someone from the Mafia, REFUSED to let me in for even five minutes, and then offered to "take care of it" meaning me, to the Rabbi, when he finally came out. Okay, rules are rules, but that is ridiculous, and they have this hideous antiquated Board of Directors (ie the people who pay) and one stuffed shirt actually called me "absolutely abhorrent". I felt like a criminal, and, as a woman alone, it was really a humiliating way to spend the Jewish holiday of Sukkos.

Interesting history. The information center was educational and the staff was friendly. The tour was nice.

A wonderful piece of Jewish American history. Our tour guide was excellent and really made this colonial era building come alive!
