Event Description
Join the Baltimore Zionist District for an extraordinary journey with renowned speaker Irene Shaland as we explore one of Asia’s most fascinating destinations—Singapore. Often celebrated for its cosmopolitan charm, cutting-edge architecture, and vibrant arts scene, Singapore is also home to a remarkable Jewish history that remains largely unknown to many.
This small yet powerful city-state is a unique mosaic of cultures and religions, where Chinese, Malay, Indian, and European communities coexist in harmony. Among them, the Jewish community has played a vital role in shaping Singapore’s growth, contributing significantly to its financial and cultural landscape.
With approximately 2,500 Jewish residents, Singapore’s Jewish population is a blend of Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Baghdadi, American, Australian, and European traditions. Their history is woven into the nation’s fabric, making Singapore a true Jewish hub in Asia—a place where visitors can always find a welcoming home.
Join us as we uncover the stories of resilience, heritage, and multiculturalism that define Singapore’s Jewish experience. Don’t miss this opportunity to travel through time and space with Irene Shaland and discover a world like no other!
