Jacob Ballas Centre & Maghain Aboth

Still stuck in Waterloo Street there are two building represent our Jewish Community in Singapore are the Jacob Ballas Centre and the Orthodox Synagogue sitting side by side with the Jewish Maghain Aboth. The centre offer function room, office and accommodation for the rabbi a kosher slaughter room for fresh chicken and a restaurant also a kosher shop


Does anyone still remember going to Bras Basah Road to look for your second-hand book and other titles and sometimes also visit the food stalls along Waterloo Street just for Indian Rojak and Teh Tarik, sadly it makes way, for now, SMU Campus and Plaza by the Park which used to be a commercial building for shops and offices, now had renamed to Manulife Centre, before we had Kopi Tiam but now the Food Republic. It is a good location now because it is accessible by 3 MRT Lines serving the vicinity (North-East Line, Circle Line and Downtown Line).
