There are Jewish churches with hundreds of years of history, but for non-believers like us, the difference between a Christian church and a synagogue is not too clear. The buildings are beautiful.

The oldest Jewish building in Southeast Asia, a unique blend of Victorian and colonial architectural styles, is very magnificent, and you must respect etiquette when entering the church.
Mahai Abu Synagogue is located on Waterloo Street in the Central District of Singapore. "Mahai Abu" means "the shield of the fathers". It was built in 1878 and is the oldest synagogue in Southeast Asia. It was listed as a Singapore National Monument in 1998. At Mahai Abu Synagogue, you can learn everything about the early Jewish residents of Singapore. Although there are other Jewish buildings nearby, Mahaiab is still one of the most well-known. The exterior of the synagogue is very simple, but the interior is extremely rigorous and meticulous. The church uniquely combines Victorian and colonial architectural styles. The marble floor and large shutters contrast with the benches made of teak and rattan, bringing people a sense of grandeur. Singapore’s small Jewish community also holds regular gatherings here. In addition, Jewish festivals are held here, making it a must-see attraction in Singapore.
