St. Thomas Synagogue

Nestled in the historic heart of Charlotte Amalie, this second-oldest continuously operating synagogue in the US stands as a testament to the Caribbean's rich Jewish heritage and the island's tradition of religious tolerance. The intimate sanctuary features Danish colonial architecture with its distinctive red-brick facade and peaceful interior, where sand covers the floor—a custom honoring ancestors who once prayed in secret. Visitors are welcomed to experience this living spiritual space that has welcomed worshippers for nearly two centuries.
