Congregation Shearith Israel welcomes you to visit Touro Synagogue and to pray with the congregation in residence, Congregation Ahavath Israel.
Congregation Ahavath Israel is the Orthodox Jewish community privileged to call Touro Synagogue – the oldest standing synagogue in the United States – its spiritual home.
Ahavath Israel is a warm, welcoming local Newport Congregation rooted in Torah tradition, committed to halacha, and inspired by the historic legacy of religious freedom and Jewish perseverance that Touro represents.
Whether you’re a local resident, a visitor to Newport, or a student of Jewish heritage, you are warmly invited to participate in Shabbat prayers in a setting rich with American and Jewish history.
