Spanish and Portugese Synagogue.


The oldest Jewish Congregation in the United States is Congregation Shearith Israel also known as the Spanish and Portugese Synagogue. The congregation dates from 1654, Originally they were rebuffed by Peter Stuyvesant, the jews were allowed to stay and worship. The current building located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan dates from 1897 and is the 5th building the congregation has used. Until 1825 they were the only synagogue in NYC.
