The island of Singapore began to be valued in the 14th century, when Prince Baeremisula, from St. Liver, established the Malacca Sultanate in the region, and the Portuguese later burned the stronghold of the estuary in 1613.[3] From the 18th to 1824, Singapore was part of the Kingdom of Johor.
The Mahai Abu synagogue has a history of more than 140 years and unless you are an Israeli with an Israeli passport, you need to contact the church in advance to make an appointment to visit, stay at the Victoria Hotel, a 5-minute walk from the temple. The price of the Sabbath meal was a little higher, at nearly 800 yuan per pair.
Located on Waterloo Street in Central District, Singapore, the Mahai Abu synagogue means “Shield of Fathers”, built in 1878, is the oldest synagogue in Southeast Asia and was listed as a national monument in Singapore in 1998. The Mahai Abu synagogue has everything to learn about Singapore's early Jewish residents. Despite other Jewish buildings nearby, Mahai Abu remains one of the most well-known. The exterior of the synagogue is simple, but the interior has a very rigorous and meticulous design. The church is chicly blended with Victorian and colonial architecture, with marble floors and large blinds against benches made of teak and cane, bringing a grand sense of surprise. Singapore's small Jewish community also holds regular gatherings here, and there is also a Jewish festival, which is a must-visit attraction in Singapore.
The Mahai Abu synagogue has been established for nearly 150 years, and it is also the earliest synagogue in the entire Southeast Asia region, and now there are regular religious ceremonies and festivals here every year, if caught up, it will be very lively.
