Best ever. No complaining going on here, even after that little extermination situation that happened only about 60years ago.

I started attending here when I first moved to Charleston, nearly seven and a half years ago. The community has always been warm, welcoming, and egalitarian. This is a second home to me, with beautiful music lead by beautiful people (Robin is one of my favorite people ever), a wonderful building, and a wonderful spirit.
Great historic building, friendly and informative tour, and gift shop Make sure to check the schedule for tour times
On the plus side, the synagogue, what we could see of it, was beautiful and interesting. On the not so plus side we were not greeted very warmly. In full disclosure we were late for the tour on a Friday afternoon and the synagogue was closing in about 20 -30 minutes. Shabbat was still a few hours away. We were greeted a bit abruptly but told we could walk inside the museum and gift shop. We asked if we could just peek inside the sanctuary and were told no. When we asked again we were sarcastically told we could \try it\ but the woman knew it was locked. We were walking through the museum, as invited, and then suddenly the same women, now all warm and welcoming, suggested that we save some time to see the gift shop. Apparently it was okay if we were there as long as we were going to spend money. We know the historical significance of the synagogue and were doing our best to see it during a very short visit. A little warmth and welcoming would have been appreciated, even if we couldn't take the full tour. Instead it left a bad taste in our mouths.
Historic landmark of one of the oldest synagogues in the U.S founded in 1749. Beautiful architecture and friendly staff. Located centrally in downtown Charleston. It is the 2nd oldest synagogue in the US but the longest operational.
