Jewish families settled in Newport. And in 1677, they laid out the Jewish cemetery in Newport. In 1760, Rabbi Isaac Touro2<\/sup> arrived in Newport to serve as cantor and spiritual leader. His sons Abraham and Judah would become great philanthropists3<\/sup>. Between 1760-1763, architect Peter Harrison built the synagogue. The Georgian-style exterior leads to a large hall with twelve Ionic columns symbolizing the twelve tribes of Israel. It is the oldest synagogue in the United States. In 1780, although the community only had eight families, a school was created. Shortly before the end of the American War of Independence, the deeds and the Torah scrolls were transferred to the Spanish-Portuguese Shearith Israel synagogue in Nieuw Amsterdam (New York) and the community disappeared. For much of the 19th century, no Jews lived in Newport, and the building would not reopen until 1883.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently the congregation consists of about 175 families. Although most worshipers are Ashkenazim, they are constitutionally obligated to use Sephardic ritual in the synagogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
