  I took the tour of this beautiful and historic house of worship. The staff was wonderful and took time to explain items. Not being of the faith I was nonetheless treated graciously. This is an important synagogue in the USA. It's beauty is surpassed only by the wonderful people. Charleston had some historic churches and I hope to tour more of them during this trip.

  We received a wonderful tour of the synagogue and history of Charleston. The synagogue is the first Reformed Jewish Synagogue. The story of how that came to pass is quite interesting. The organization is among the five oldest synagogues in the US. There is a museum and a Judacia store. Definitely worth seeing!
