of the Touro Synagogue, had the legal right to evict Congregation Jeshuat Israel.
Congregation Jeshuat Israel has been worshipping at the Touro Synagogue since the 18th century, making it one of the oldest Jewish congregations in the country. The dispute began when Congregation Shearith Israel formed a new governing board for the Touro Synagogue, claiming that the Newport congregation had violated the terms of its lease.
Despite efforts by Congregation Jeshuat Israel to appeal the lower court ruling, the state’s Supreme Court ultimately agreed with the decision to evict them from the historic synagogue. This ruling has sparked controversy and disappointment among members of the congregation, who feel that they are being unjustly removed from their longtime place of worship.
The future of Congregation Jeshuat Israel remains uncertain as they face eviction from the Touro Synagogue. Members of the congregation are exploring their legal options and are hopeful for a resolution that will allow them to continue their religious practices in their historic home.
