Musmeah Yeshua Synagogue, Jewish temple in downtown Yangon, Myanmar
The synagogue spans two floors with wooden ceilings displaying a blue and white Star of David pattern throughout its interior spaces.
Built between 1893 and 1896, this stone structure replaced an 1854 wooden synagogue that served Jewish settlers from Iraq and India.
The synagogue represents the legacy of Sephardic Jews who established a community in colonial Rangoon, reaching 2,500 members before World War II.
Visitors can access the synagogue at 85 26th Street in the Pabedan district, with regular tours conducted by the local Jewish community.
The building features a menorah against blue tiles at its entrance and includes traditional elements like a bimah and women's gallery.
