Built in 1763, Touro Synagogue is the oldest synagogue in the United States. It is the only surviving synagogue building in the U.S. dating to the colonial era, and the oldest surviving Jewish synagogue building in North America. In 1946, it was declared a National Historic Site. A building of exquisite beauty and design, it is considered one of the ten most architecturally distinguished buildings of colonial America. Each year, thousands of visitors cross its threshold to see the magnificent interior and hear its remarkable story. The synagogue stands as a symbol of religious freedom for all Americans. In his famous letter to the “Hebrew Congregation in Newport,” written in 1790, President George Washington pledged that our new nation would give “to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” These words set the standard for religious freedom in America. The Loeb Visitors Center is the gateway to the synagogue and offers interactive exhibits to enhance the visitor experience.
