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.

Touro 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.

When Judah's mother died in 1787, Hays raised the Touro children. 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.

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.

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.

Though 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]

ignored even by his own near ones. It is, accordingly, to such

the American batteries during a British cannonade, and while
in the performance of this duty he was struck by a twelve-

he was left for dead. Here an intimate friend, Eezin D.

glide so silently and diffidently through the streets, with his

pression of genial kindness and benevolence. He was, too,
$ C% J. G/ R0 `" wa man of no great deeds, or public services, or brilliant quali-
ties. And yet, when the tidings of his decease go forth a
whole people, a reckless, frivolous and cynical people, turn
% Y2 A4 R$ X9 F8 d( laside from their various pursuits of pleasure or ambition, to
bewail with heartfelt sorrow his departure. And he died a
millionaire. The people do not usually sorrow over the death
of the rich man. ... It is rare, indeed, that the man who
does his duty by his fellow-men in life, accumulates large

reward of a boundless and incessant benevolence and benefi-
: b6 I. l# p; }: j( d5 f) tcence — an ever-active philanthropy. His career was a
splendid illustration of the Divine injunction and promise
, ]" {' s9 Q6 L2 Z' x2 a! m' Cast thy bread on the waters, and after many days it shall
6 q9 S- |9 S/ freturn to thee.' Avarice, the love of money for its own sake,

deprived himself of all other luxuries in order to enjoy and
4 t7 I* V& B+ N4 ~. cgratify with keener relish and greater intensity his single
passion and appetite — to do good to his fellow-men. He was
a miser only in the exercise of his charity and benevolence,
" B2 X0 x. z" r0 v" f4 _1 Qfrom which he jealously excluded others. His only art and
6 W" p2 C$ k5 J$ R+ D# Ostealth were displayed in the concealment of his benefactions,

liberal and benevolent deeds."

Turning from Judge Walker's panegyric, we must confess
0 G+ Q1 s# X! |that Judah Touro's shrinking, retiring nature permitted the
1 R$ \+ _; \$ `& E/ fpublic to know of but a small fraction of his many benefac-

large gifts to charitable and other public ends were not as
common as they are now. When he donated $10,000 towards
the erection of the Bunker Hill Monument in 1840, those in-

7 \5 e' _8 E& r, x. I1 P7 hJudah Touro's private benefactions were munificent
throughout his lifetime, and the recipients thereof were often
astonished at the degree of his generosity. An illustration
in point is set forth by the Eev. Theodore Clapp.* A Chris-

ister, found itself in serious financial difficulties with $45,-
000 of indebtedness. Twenty-five thousand dollars was raised

occupy the building rent-free until it was destroyed, after

8 \- \+ E8 D5 K3 D+ [to increase my means ! " Mr. Clapp, moreover, received from
9 P& u- l, m' c. r4 {  ~/ K7 ]him no less than $20,000 during his lifetime. When his sister
! w- l0 L8 B0 s' K7 i1 Bdied, leaving an estate of approximately $60,000 to him, he
declined to accept the money, ing instead that it be
distributed among deserving charities. The Touro Infirmary
at New Orleans was established during his lifetime. He be-
. O% B* E# h* m( y+ Fcame interested in reports concerning the " Old Stone Mill "
) {  J. {: m; ^3 Kof jSTewport, supposed to be a relic of the early Northmen's
. I7 }8 w; ?) F- Isettlements in America, and bequeathed $10,000 for the acqui-
0 s( x* T) j! I+ {sition of the site by that municipality. For many years he
was practically the only Jewish resident of New Orleans;
subsequently, as the Jewish population increased, he erected
4 v. R# a, z! X& j8 O$ Ua synagogue building and donated it for such uses at an ex-
8 h+ `" q  ^" }3 U2 ^) bpense of approximately $40,000. Thereafter he was a regu-
lar and devoted worshiper at its services. By his will, signed
7 N' {+ o- E- s% ]& [' j% s% rJanuary 6, 1854, less than two weeks before his death, he dis-
tributed upwards of half a million of dollars to charitable
purposes, two-thirds of the sum to non-Jewish purposes. Mr.
Clapp, in commenting on this circumstance says : " I have
never heard of but one religionist in the United States who
( _+ |* b3 Y; T1 l/ Qcan be compared with Mr. Touro, as regards the liberality of
his benefactions to his own church; and he bestowed nothing
on other denominations. But Mr. Touro gave more to stran-
9 q/ Y! Q, Z4 ?  |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

hilation."

ever claim any benefit from the funds. He thought of the poor in

were named after him in order to commemorate his generous

His tomb-stone, in the Newport Cemetery, bears the fol-
