“It is not that Israel has kept the Sabbath; the Sabbath has kept Israel.”
A view in the door of the Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island. It is the oldest synagogue building in the United States. The oldest congregation is in NYC and the oldest continuously operating synagogue is in Charleston. So many superlatives, so little time.
Anyway the Touro Synagogue has a wonderful story and is an architectural gem.
