According to Judah Touro's tombstone, he is inscribed in “the Book of Philanthropy, to be remembered forever.” No epitaph could be more deserving. Touro's name is indelibly associated with American Jewish philanthropy, a community trait of which American Jews can be proud.

! M! t. ?  B: f. L9 UTouro grew up in Newport, Rhode Island, the second son of Isaac Touro, who was hazzan of Yesuat Israel, Newport's Sephardic synagogue. The Revolutionary War destroyed Newport's prosperity, and Judah's childhood was marked by poverty. A Tory, Judah's father remained with his family in Newport after the British captured the city. The Touros became dependent on the charity of British troops, who ultimately helped the Touros relocate to Jamaica, West Indies, where Isaac died in 1783. His mother took Judah and his siblings to Boston to live with her brother, Moses Michael Hays.

He taught Judah and his brother Abraham to observe Jewish traditions and apprenticed them in his international commercial ventures. In 1801, Judah unexpectedly left for New Orleans. No one is certain why he left in such haste, but the gossip of the had it that his uncle refused to allow him to marry his first cousin, Catherine Hays. In any case, Touro never married.

When the U.S. acquired New Orleans in 1803, its economy boomed, and Judah established himself as a merchant, shipper and leader in local social life. During the war with England in 1812, Touro fought as a volunteer under the command of General Andrew Jackson. In the great battle of Jan. 1, 1815, Touro was severely wounded and near death, but over the next year a close friend nursed Touro back to health. The wound appeared to have had psychological as well as physical effects: The previously social Touro withdrew almost entirely from civic life and devoted himself to his businesses.

Despite his success, Judah always remembered his youthful poverty and lived modestly. He invested in real estate but never mortgaged his properties to finance other ventures. Touro was reported to have said, “I have saved a fortune by strict economy, while others had spent one by their liberal expenditures.”

In his 50s and 60s, most of Judah's charity was directed to non-Jewish causes. Most significantly, he donated the final $10,000 needed to complete the Bunker Hill Monument in Boston, which for nearly 20 years had languished as an unfinished stump for want of funding.

His father, Isaac Touro of Holland, was chosen in 1762 as the hazzan at the Touro Synagogue, a Portuguese Sephardic congregation in Newport[1][2]. After the British captured Newport, Isaac and his family moved to New York in 1780, and then in 1782 to Kingston, Jamaica. In 1783 Isaac died and his wife, Reyna, moved the family to Boston, to live with her brother, Moses Michael Hays. Reyna Touro died in 1787, and Judah and his siblings were raised by his uncle, a merchant who helped found Boston's first bank.[3]

At least one book about Touro has indicated that he fell in love with his cousin, Catherine Hays, but was forbidden marriage by her father, who sent him on a trading voyage to the Mediterranean in hopes of ending the romance.[4] In October, 1801, Judah went to New Orleans, where he opened a small store near the levee, he sold soap, candles, codfish and other exports of New England, eventually becoming a prominent merchant and shipowner, particularly after the Louisiana Purchase propelled the growth of the region and its commerce.

& k! }& ^( {- ?1 S( O+ l/ SThough in poor health, he enlisted in Andrew Jackson's army in the War of 1812; physically incapacitated from fighting, he volunteered to carry ammunition to the batteries in the Battle of New Orleans, in which, on January 1, 1815, he was seriously wounded by being struck on the thigh by a twelve-pound shot which tore off a large mass of the flesh,so bad was his wound as to be given up for dead, but was saved by a friend named Rezin Davis Shepherd,a Virginian merchant.Mr.Shepherd helped nurse Judah back to health,and their close friendship continued throughout their lives. Following the war, he recovered for a year, then resumed building his business interests in shipping, trade, and real estate.[5] Despite his many real-estate purchases, Touro made a point of never mortgaging current properties to acquire new ones, and lived a simple life in a small apartment, remarking, "I have saved a fortune by strict economy, while others had spent one by their liberal expenditures."[2]

It is a strange circumstance that no paper devoted to Judak
Touro has thus far been presented at any of our meetings,
6 m% e+ G' g' |- r, h4 Inor has any sketch of his distinguished career, worthy of the
4 a/ X  p1 q7 O* Wname, been thus far published, certainly not any emanating
from a Jewish pen. The result is that little definite infor-
5 T8 n3 s# _3 k0 A8 ymation concerning Touro is conveniently accessible, and, in
# p# M) \8 N2 q& {' X4 Jconsequence, we find the four enormous tomes of Fortier's

the very name of one who would probably by common consent
be singled out as the most prominent American Jew of the
3 u" K4 A: i" Ufirst half of the nineteenth century. One familiar with the
relations between the investigations of local historical socie-
2 q  D; W% d1 C; X  Z+ c( ~# ^ties and more general historical writings, can readily account
for the general historian's neglect of an individual's career,
( `4 K% [4 X! G5 Bignored even by his own near ones. It is, accordingly, to such
specialized investigations as our own, that the general his-
torian is likely to turn before including or excluding an indi-

Judah Touro, merchant prince and philanthropist, was known
in his day from Newport and Boston, the cities of his infancy
and early youth, to far distant New Orleans, the city of his
maturity, as " An Israelite indeed, in whom there was no
( e3 f) D& u9 r5 q/ p% e# Vguile," as typical of what is best in the Jewish character, and
6 g7 M1 H6 c2 U5 K0 ]1 Z( g' ~more than any other resident co-religionist, inspired respect
& }# A5 C: W( O0 B; Kand admiration among Jew and Gentile alike for the Jewish
/ q! w+ Q1 P  n6 Sname in America. And beyond that, his generous, well-nigh
unprecedentedly large-scaled and diversified philanthropic
gifts made it possible for the various American Jewish com-
munities to undertake institutional charitable work theretofore
impossible, in view of the small and humble means at their
; ^3 e$ B6 J; b3 ]disposal, so that, throughout the land he pre-eminently laid the
foundations for those noble Jewish charities which have ever
, P  x4 j7 P0 \! T% G' Gsince been the pride and the boast of American Jewry.

beloved country. His father was the Eev. Isaac Touro, min-

by his movements. In his business he rarely employed more

3 O+ K) u7 f8 E1 hIt is the circumstance that Judah Touro's whole life was
devoted to personal charitable service, knowing no limits of
age, creed, or race, and so intelligently administered as to
3 c& X7 `- f) L0 c* G8 rwork the maximum of good in every instance, that has made
his name immortal, as are the names of few other philanthro-

tunes and gave liberally spasmodically or by their last wills,
yet unlike Judah Touro they are forgotten. The public, not-

of the rich man. ... It is rare, indeed, that the man who

wealth. . . . Wealth seemed to flow into his coffers as the
reward of a boundless and incessant benevolence and benefi-

splendid illustration of the Divine injunction and promise
2 C' q- y9 @% B' Q' Cast thy bread on the waters, and after many days it shall
return to thee.' Avarice, the love of money for its own sake,
were as foreign to his nature as dishonesty and falsehood. He

passion and appetite — to do good to his fellow-men. He was

from which he jealously excluded others. His only art and

and his chief vexation and trouble were to avoid the ostenta-

- ~0 z' T% ^" `* m6 ~" k! bTurning from Judge Walker's panegyric, we must confess
that Judah Touro's shrinking, retiring nature permitted the
public to know of but a small fraction of his many benefac-

are, has been handed down to us. The time was one when

that he could profitably erect business buildings on the site,

2 |6 e9 ?+ X. E0 Y6 |6 k, ]# @am a friend to religion and I will not pull down the church
* A; l( j( u6 [8 jto increase my means ! " Mr. Clapp, moreover, received from
him no less than $20,000 during his lifetime. When his sister
died, leaving an estate of approximately $60,000 to him, he
# {/ {$ G9 k* a4 n- B7 n) x  ~" Bdeclined to accept the money, ing instead that it be
distributed among deserving charities. The Touro Infirmary

came interested in reports concerning the " Old Stone Mill "
' v, }, o6 T: }9 B. W. ~of jSTewport, supposed to be a relic of the early Northmen's
" d& K- A, ?, e6 U3 g$ ~settlements in America, and bequeathed $10,000 for the acqui-
sition of the site by that municipality. For many years he
was practically the only Jewish resident of New Orleans;
9 d. R5 B; }% j6 Ysubsequently, as the Jewish population increased, he erected
- |5 w$ C, n7 X" ]% T- pa synagogue building and donated it for such uses at an ex-
2 j& y1 R" b. @/ ~. Mpense of approximately $40,000. Thereafter he was a regu-
lar and devoted worshiper at its services. By his will, signed
. @# P0 G& l  cJanuary 6, 1854, less than two weeks before his death, he dis-
7 ^- [. v. d4 T) [7 m  Ttributed upwards of half a million of dollars to charitable
purposes, two-thirds of the sum to non-Jewish purposes. Mr.
) w/ w! L* e( p) y6 W# jClapp, in commenting on this circumstance says : " I have
never heard of but one religionist in the United States who
can be compared with Mr. Touro, as regards the liberality of
+ _/ U1 Y: C2 F: p' H0 ahis benefactions to his own church; and he bestowed nothing

gers than to his brethren. With a generous profusion, he
scattered his favors broadcast over the wide field of humanity.
He knew well that many of the recipients of his bounty hated
the Hebrews, and would, if possible, sweep them into anni-

them the means to carry on their holy mission in dispensing the
blessings which our faith is so well calculated to bestow. He

institutions best calculated to farther this end, to make Jewish
