"Touro Synagogue, the oldest synagogue in the United States, is a living testament to both history and continuity.

Touro's enduring legacy, coupled with its commitment to spiritual vitality, makes it an exceptional destination deserving of a resolute five-star rating."
"Very interesting seeing the first synagogue in the united states and hearing that it's still functional on shabbat and chagim."
"Very cool place to visit. This is the oldest synagogue in all of America. And it actually is an active synagogue so if you’re around for services you should come in and check it out. Very good historic place in a very cool story city. It’s right in the center of town and it’s a very short walk. After that you can just walk down division Street and check out all the old buildings there that are all historical monuments. There’s a really cool black church that’s for free black sleeves down on division Street it’s not even mark any map it is very cool."
"Absolutely fascinating building, tour, guide and history. A must-see when in Newport. Learn about Washington's letter to the congregation and think about that letter (assuring Jews' wellbeing and safety) within today's experience."
"Moving history of early religious tolerance in that much of our world needs to learn from today. The Loeb Visitor Center is beautiful and we'll conceived, the staff knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. A must experience."
