History of the Jews in Singapore : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of the Jews in Singapore
The first Jews to settle in Singapore were of Bagdadi origin, mainly from India, who migrated to Singapore soon after Sir Stamford Raffles established Singapore as a trading post in 1819. A couple of decades after the Sultan of Johor in 1824 sold the area to the British, the Jewish community was large enough to build a synagogue seating 40 persons on what is still known as "Synagogue Street." ==Demographics== The 1931 census records that the 832 Jews and larger number of Arab residents were the largest house property owners in the city.〔Corfield, Justin and Corfield, Robin, ''Encyclopedia of Singapore'', Scarecrow Press: 2006: ISBN 0-8108-5347-7: 279 pages. pp118-119〕 There were over 1,500 Jewish inhabitants by 1939. Many were interned by the Japanese during World War II, and a number subsequently emigrated to Israel, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. As a result, the community numbered approximately 450 in 1968. Due to a large Ashkenazi immigration rate to Singapore in recent years, the population is now between 2000 and 3000 and comprises both foreign Ashkenazi, Sefardi and Eurasian Jews.〔Corfield, Justin and Corfield, Robin, ''Encyclopedia of Singapore'', Scarecrow Press: 2006: ISBN 0-8108-5347-7: 279 pages. pp118-119〕
