Touro Synagogue

Explanation:

The Touro Synagogue is the oldest synagogue building still standing in the United States dating to the colonial era. It was built for the Jeshuat Israel congregation in Newport which was founded in 1658 by the descendants of Jewish families who fled the Inquisitions in Spain and Portugal and who themselves left the Caribbean seeking the greater religious tolerance that Rhode Island had to offer. Each year, over 30,000 people visit the synagogue to pray and see its magnificent interior. The Touro Synagogue stands as a symbol of religious freedom for all Americans and was designated as a National Historic Site in 1946.

The Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, is the oldest Jewish house of worship in North America that is still standing. It was built in 1759 for the Jeshuat Israel congregation, which was established in 1658.
