History Of The Jews In Singapore
:Jews have a long history in :Singapore, dating back to the 19th century, and are currently a significant minority population in the country. History Colonial era The first wave of Jewish immigration to Singapore were Jews of Baghdadi origin. The migration of Baghdadi trade diaspora occurred during the 18th and 19th centuries and was at its peak in 1817 due to the rule of Ottoman governor Dawud Pasha of Baghdad, who persecuted Jews during his 15-year rule. The first Jews to live in Singapore were the Baghdadi traders who were trading between the then-British ports of Calcutta and Singapore. These settlers spoke Arabic and after arriving in Singapore, adopted the Malay language, then the main language used in Singapore. Approximately 180 descendants of these Jews still exist, which the Rabbi of Singapore, Rabbi Mordechai Abergel, described as the only remaining indigenous Jews of Asia. In 1841, three Jews, Joseph Dwek Cohen, Nassim Joseph Ezra and Ezra Ezekiel were given ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

United Hebrew Congregation (Chesterfield, Missouri)
The United Hebrew Congregation (also Congregation Achdut Yisroel) is a Reform Jewish synagogue located at 13788 Conway Road in Chesterfield, a western suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, in the United States. It was the first Jewish Congregation established west of the Mississippi River. History 19th century The United Hebrew Congregation formed on Erev Rosh Hashannah, the evening of September 29, 1837, when ten members rented a room in St. Louis for services. The location was either above a store called "Max’s Grocery and Restaurant" at Second and Spruce Streets, or an "R.A. Mack's" grocery store at 54 N. Front Street.
