Located on Waterloo Street in central Singapore, "Mahai Abu" means "Shield of the Fathers", the oldest Synagogue in Southeast Asia was built in 1878 and listed as a national monument in Singapore in 1998. In Mahai Abu synagogue you can learn everything about the early Jewish inhabitants of Singapore. Although there are other Jewish buildings nearby, Mahaab is still one of the most well-known. The appearance of the synagogue is very simple, but the interior has a very rigorous and meticulous design. The church is a unique blend of Victorian and colonial architectural styles. Marble floors and louvers stand out against the benches made of teak and rattan, bringing people a grand sense of amazement. Small Jewish communities in Singapore also hold regular gatherings here. In addition, Jewish festivals will be held here, making it a must-see attraction in Singapore.

    There are hundreds of years old Jewish churches, but for non-believers like us, the difference between Christian churches and synagogues is not too clear, and the building is quite beautiful.

    The Mahai Abu synagogue has a history of more than 140 years. Unless you are an Israelis with an Israeli passport, you need to contact the church in advance to make an appointment, stay at the Victoria Hotel and walk five minutes from the temple. The price of the Sabbath meal is a little higher, about 800 yuan per pair.

    The Mahai Abu synagogue has been established for nearly 150 years. It is also the earliest Synagogue in Southeast Asia. Now there are regular religious ceremonies and festival gatherings here every year. If it catches up, it will be very lively.
