Last week a petition for certiorari (
full text) was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court in
Congregation Jeshuat Israel v. Congregations Shearith Israel, (cert. filed 10/22/2018). In the case, the U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals held that Rhode Island's historic Touro Synagogue is owned by New York's Shearith Israel congregation. The court also concluded that a pair of historic silver Torah ornaments worth some $7 million are also owned by the New York congregation. (See
prior posting.)
