Old Jewish Quarter

View 1 photos, or upload your photo.

The synagogue was used primarily as a warehouse and office space in the intervening years, but in 1998, a meeting with then- Shanghai Mayor Xu Kuangdi and US Rabbi Arthur Schneider set the wheels in motion for the renovation of Ohel Rachel. It was done, in part, by using the memories of Aba Toeg, who was invited back by the Jewish community to help with the restoration. The years of neglect have taken their toll on the structural integrity of the building, and in 2002 it was listed on the World Monuments Watch list of endangered buildings. Today, although Ohel Rachel's location within the education commission grounds precludes its regular use as a synagogue, it is used four times a year by the Jewish community (Hanukah and Purim were both celebrated here) -- another link in Ohel Rachel's long legacy.
