Magen Abraham Synagogue - Synagogue in Ahmedabad - Ahmadabad, India

Visited Mar 2022. It is possible to see the interior of this synagogue. You need to contact 'Jony Bhai' at the site (with a id and a copy). The interior is very nice, worth seeing. Like nothing you'll see elsewhere. Very 'old-school', if that's the word. Especially note the ceiling. See attached pics.

Magen Abraham Synagoge is situated in the old, busy part of Ahmedabad city. Very few know about the existence of Jew community in the city. The number of members of the Jew community is receding slowly as many of them have moved to Israel and other part of the world. Only 140 members are left but they maintain the Synagoge well and celebrate their frsrivals here.

It's the only synagogue in the whole state of Gujarat. Very unique and in the middle of a Muslim city. Sadly it was closed but I have been told that one can call in advance and ask for the gate keeper and arrange a tour inside.

Saw the husking from outside. It is located in the old city ahmedabad. It is a very busy narrow street. Grand building .

Truly unique in the Art Deco design brought to life in an Indian synagogue. Notice the sunburst motifs in the bottom metal frames and under the balconies, and the electricity-like metalwork on the balconies. Note that the synagogue is officially closed and admission is likely not possible, but worth trying. Bring a copy of your ID. Hours of admission are 10-11am and 4-6pm. The synagogue still holds services. A fascinating gem of a building.

It was really hard to find someone en changed on the place. While we did he was very unpleasant and he demanded that we'll give a paper copy of our passport which in India is very dangerous thing to do. All.the neighborhood seems not very friendly

This holy place is the only worship place in Gujarat for Bene Israeli community. This synagogue is very beautiful. It's architecture is very wonderful. Everyday during evening time, entry is allowed with a photocopy of identity card. Jews people of Ahmedabad city are coming here for prayers as well as during community meet.

Its one and only synagogue of gujarat, india. It was built in around 1934. The jew community of ahmedabad conducts prayer here on every weekend. The main gate is mostly closed. The entry is from another side gate.
