Maghain Aboth Synagogue, Neoclassical synagogue in Rochor, Singapore

The Maghain Aboth Synagogue features palladian arcades, roman columns, and three Stars of David on the facade, representing Southeast Asia's largest Jewish prayer house.

Built in 1878 after Sir Manasseh Meyer acquired the land, the synagogue replaced a previous religious center located in a shophouse near Raffles Place.

The synagogue maintains separate prayer areas with an upper gallery for women and a ground floor space for men, following Orthodox Jewish traditions.

Located at 24 Waterloo Street, the synagogue holds three daily services and includes facilities such as a mikvah ritual bath and kosher restaurant.

The Jacob Ballas Centre, established next to the synagogue in 2007, provides modern amenities including rabbinical housing and a Jewish museum.
