We arrived just before closing, but they graciously invited us in to the current presentation. Some recorded history then a docent explains more and answers any questions. Small museum upstairs is fascinating with confederate memorabilia, multiple Torah's including a holocaust Torah (downstairs) and donations/pictures from multiple families including one that rescued/restored Jefferson's Monticello. 3rd oldest in US. Very interesting. Neat... More

This is a beautiful and historic house of worship. The tour is worthwhile for all interested in American history

The gothic style building beautiful. It... More

The guide was amazing and knowledgeable - the information was fascinating as were the stained glass windows. A donation of $5 was requested and that appeared fair to me.

I learned a lot that I did not know about American history from... More

I liked the tour of this historic temple. Our tour guide knew so much about the history of the Jews coming to Savannah. The museum is small but full of artifacts. I am glad I had the opportunity to see this beautiful and historic place.

We wanted to tour this temple all week, but never seemed to be there in time. I am so glad that we finally made it! The tour is extremely well done-the docent is a member of the congregation, and is very knowledgeable on the history and the practices of the congregation. The temple is beautiful. Although I am not Jewish,... More
