This rating is for the tour of the synagogue. We drove 2h to make the visit with a 18 month old, paid for the visit and the guide asked us to keep the baby outside while it was raining. We are a very respectful family and would have left if there were major disturbances but here our daughter was not yelling or crying, just babbling sometimes. I did spend some time on the porch, then went back in the back of the synagogue, and the guide interrupted the tour again to ask us to get out of the synagogue where it was raining or in the visitor center. That Guide even interrupted a third time while we were preparing to leave to ask us to hasten which added humiliation to rudeness. Any family willing to tour the synagogue be aware of this discrimination and avoid losing your time to make a visit. Now this is clearly on the guide, who may be a bad apple among other guides or had a bad day, maybe the synagogue is worth visiting, but either way our experience was terrible. The desk was empathetic and gave us a refund of the fee for the visit we were not allowed to do. To the synagogue tour administration: please inform visitors of any restriction in advance and provide appropriate training to guides.

Incredible.

This was a really cool experience. It's the oldest synagogue in the United States with a nice history behind it. The tour guide was very nice. She talked about the history of the Jewish community in Newport and the history of the city, I learned a bunch of new things. Very meaningful for my kids.

I just checked with Rabbi Mandel who said, "Yes - we plan to have Minyans. Shacharit at 8 AM and Mincha and Maariv at 7 PM"
Yes, it is.
That's too bad as it is a wonderful tour. There is a visitor's center. With Covid restrictions you don't get to go inside anyway. We only got to the front door and peaked in. Maybe you can look in the windows (I don't remember if they are clear).
Touro Synagogue is not open at this time.
10:00 - 3:30 Sunday 10:00 - 130 Monday
