Shivat Zion Synagogue
The synagogue served as a spiritual and community center. There they prayed and held meetings and there the community institutions were conducted. It was built on the highest point of the street in meticulous and handsome construction. The construction of the building and its furniture were aided by the contribution of Joseph and Sarah Levy from Singapore. The inauguration of the house was held on Tu B’Shvat 1924 (January 21, 1924) and in 1952 a porch was added to it.
The synagogue is open on Saturdays and holidays, and sometimes mid-week, and is held by community members.
