Gate of Mercy Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Mandvi, Mumbai, India

The Gate of Mercy Synagogue stands near Masjid Bunder station with symmetrical architecture featuring polished lime plaster walls. The building has separate prayer sections and can hold about 300 people during High Holy Days.

Samaji Hasaji Divekar established the synagogue in 1796 near Esplanade, but the congregation moved to its current South Mumbai location in 1860. This relocation reflected the city's growth and changing needs of the local Jewish community.

The neighborhood around the synagogue, known as Israeli Mohalla, is where people gather daily for worship and community prayers. The area remains an important center for the local Jewish community to practice their faith and traditions together.

The synagogue is at 254 Samuel Street in Mandvi, a short walk from Masjid Bunder station on the Central line. Services are held daily, including a 6 am morning service, so visitors should time their look inside around worship. A mikvah for ritual purification stands nearby.

In the Bene Israel dialect the word for synagogue is "mashid", and locals call this one Juni Masjid, "the old synagogue"; the name passed to the nearby Masjid Bunder station. Two columns flanking the cantor's platform are held by community tradition to stand for Boaz and Jachin, and the seat of Elijah beside it may be occupied only by descendants of Samuel and Isaac Divekar.
