“Dor Tikvah of Charleston – led by Rabbi Michael Davies – is an engaging, thoughtful community that provides meaningful opportunities for Jews of all backgrounds. The passion, commitment and yearning for real spiritual growth, coupled with a friendly, hospitable shul, make Dor Tikvah an institution that will shape Charleston Jewry for decades to come.”
          - Rabbi Steven Weil, Senior Managing Director of the Orthodox Union, Oct. 2014

Congregation Dor Tikvah (Generation of Hope) is a new, vibrant, and growing Modern Orthodox congregation located in the West Ashley area of Charleston, South Carolina. The mission of Congregation Dor Tikvah is to maintain and conduct an Orthodox congregation that strongly supports Israel, for worship and religious observance according to the tenets and precepts of the written and oral laws of Orthodox Judaism. 

Our congregation was established in 2006 as a Shabbat and Yom Tov minyan, and was officially incorporated in June 2012. Congregation Dor Tikvah is comprised of enthusiastic members in various stages of their religious journey. Although we cater to both young and old, we have a special love for children, who are the future of our congregation and community.

Congregation Dor Tikvah meets on the former Charleston Jewish Community Center campus, which is within the Eruv, and maintains Kosher kitchen facilities.

The Congregation welcomes and is open to all Jews regardless of their affiliation.
