About About the place

Mickve Israel Temple, established in 1733, stands as the third-oldest synagogue in the United States. Unique for its Gothic Revival architectural style – the only synagogue in America built in this manner – it offers a compelling look into the early Jewish settlement of the American colonies. The temple houses ancient artifacts, including the oldest Torah in America, and features beautiful stained glass and intricate carvings. Beyond its religious significance, Mickve Israel provides valuable insights into the cultural and historical contributions of the Jewish community to Savannah and the broader South. Docent-led tours are a highlight, bringing the congregation’s rich history to life.

Our journey to this place was nothing less than a magnificent memory. This is the most beautiful place I have visited and stayed. I have never experienced luxury like that and the hospitality was top notch. I am still so grateful for all the people who hosted us and took us on an incredible journey.

The cathedral is hundreds of years old and has a magnificent architecture. The murals and the walls are simply stunning. We got a chance to witness the prayer ceremony and it was divine. Do visit this place and do enjoy it.

It is the most beautiful building I witnessed which is architecturally detailed. The building structure was royal and the building exhibits a regal vibe to it. Visiting this place was an amazing experience and the place is truly a stunning place.. We had a great tour of this place thanks to our amazing guide and friend. He made sure that we know everything about the place and even went above and beyond with showing off things, being hospitable and having a great interaction with. The tour of the place was made awesome only because of his knowledge and kindness.

Visiting this place was an amazing experience and the place is truly a stunning place.. It was a pleasing and an interesting visit to this great museum. They had a huge collection of fascinating artefacts and culturally infused items. I really enjoyed a few parts of it. It is quite big so you might feel a little bored in between. You can skip through whatever doesn't interest you.
