Welcome to Chevra T'helim Museum

Chevra T’helim Synagogue building is now a Jewish Museum & Cultural Center.
This rare surviving example of East European Jewish Orthodoxy is located at the main entrance to the City of Portsmouth.

It is a place where visitors from home and around the world can celebrate and learn about Jewish history, faith, and culture.
The Jewish Museum & Cultural Center houses artifacts and exhibits that reflect the history of the Hampton Roads Jewish community.
On display is an eighteenth-century Torah Scroll rescued from a synagogue in Trebíc, Czechoslovakia. That synagogue was a victim of the Holocaust.
