Chesed-El Synagogue, Renaissance Revival synagogue in River Valley, Singapore
The Chesed-El Synagogue features three classical arches at its entrance, ornate floral plasterwork, and white painted exterior walls on Oxley Rise.
Sir Manasseh Meyer, a merchant from Baghdad, funded the construction of this synagogue in 1905 due to the growing Jewish population in Singapore.
The synagogue interior contains an ark facing west toward Jerusalem, housing Torah scrolls and decorated with religious inscriptions in Hebrew.
Religious services, festivals, and ceremonies like Bar Mitzvahs, weddings, and funerals take place regularly at 2 Oxley Rise, Singapore 238693.
The building incorporated gas lighting systems during its construction in 1905, with original gas pipes still present within the ceiling structure.
