Info for this Shabbat
Join in on our Shabbat Services in-person or online.
Shabbat services are led by Rabbi Julia Margolis, and are regularly streamed live across our Facebook and YouTube channels.
For those following online, we use the Reform movement siddur Mishkan Tefilah. You may order a copy on Amazon or find a paid, online “flipbook” version here (click on the second book listed for Shabbat, Weekdays, and Festivals).
Synagogue Operation Hours:
Our synagogue is open to visitors Mondays-Thursdays from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm, and Fridays 9:30 am to 2 pm.
The gift shop is open Mondays & Wednesdays 11:30am to 3pm, Tuesdays + Thursdays 9:30am to 3pm.
First-time visitors are required to show a picture ID before entering the gate. We appreciate your understanding.
Our History
Celebrating 230 years in 2026
We are all connected to one another.
We are the oldest synagogue building in continuous use under the American flag, the second oldest in the Western Hemisphere — and only one of five synagogues in the world with sand on the floor.
Our community is special. An inclusive and welcoming Jewish center for those who live here, we also maintain a world-wide connection with thousands of families all over the world. And we host hundreds of weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies, and other events for those who feel the call of this special place.
There are few places on Earth where beauty and history come together as powerfully as in this place. We welcome your interest, your visits, and your voice as we learn that no community is alone.
Our Mission Statement
The Hebrew Congregation of St. Thomas seeks to make the old new and the new sacred. We welcome all who wish to worship, study Torah and serve G-d’s world with us.
We strive to build a community of faith in which each member can find support, strength, courage and hope, and where together we advance tikkun ‘olam, strengthening the world and repairing its breaches.
We embrace our role as stewards of our historic Synagogue and two historic cemeteries and as transmitters of the Jewish legacy on St. Thomas and throughout the Caribbean.
