The oldest synagogue in America is practically right around the corner.. In Short
With its Colonial American architecture, Touro Synagogue may seem an odd bastion of Jewish life on this side of the Atlantic. But situated on a quiet street and oriented to Jerusalem, Touro is, indeed, the oldest synagogue in the United States, and a national historic site. The tour-guide is often led by the congregation's rabbi who gives an enthusiastic and fast-paced lecture on the history of the synagogue and of the Jews of Newport.
