The Jeshuat Israel Congregation will host a benefit concert tonight, Saturday May 25th at 9pm at the historic Touro Synagogue, 85 Touro Street, Newport Rhode Island.
The concert will feature the Zemel Choir, which embraces the traditions of Sephardic, Yiddish, Ashkenazi and Israeli Jewish Cultures.
This concert is in celebration of the Congregation's 250th celebration of the dedication of the Touro Synagogue in December 1763. Coincidentally, it also commemorates Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations 1663 charter, which is 300 years old this year!
Tickets for the benefit concert cost $10 per person, and proceeds will be donated to the Louis and Goldie Chester "Full Plate" Kosher Food Pantry and the Newport Community Meal Program. As seating is limited, it is advised to purchased tickets in advance.
Come benefit a great cause and see the oldest synagogue in the United States!
