Can we pray in the Jewish synagogue?
-
This question has been bugging me.
Since we all believe in the same God as the Jews, are we allowed to worship in their synagogue?
Very curious to know. -
I don't think you believe in the same God as the Jews. I mean, how can a Christian go through a worship service without making any reference to the Lord Jesus Christ, or for the Catholic the Holy Trinity?
I don't think they refuse you entry.
Want to go to the synagogue this Sabbath?

I'm interested.Originally posted by Icemoon:Want to go to the synagogue this Sabbath? -
The problem is I dunno when is their worship services conducted. Friday night? Saturday morning? Afternoon? The Jewish population in Singapore is very small (~ 200), so I don't think they have many services like most churches.Originally posted by nukewatch:I'm interested.
There is only one synagogue, Maghain Aboth in Waterloo Street (Si4 Ma3 Lu4). Chesed-El in Oxley Walk seems to be closed or something. -
I would love toOriginally posted by Icemoon:Want to go to the synagogue this Sabbath?
But dunno how to get in. Not sure whether they allow non jew to go in or not.
I know they separate the men and women like the muslims in the mosque. -
They allow non Jews.
But we may have to wear their prayer cap, but not the prayer shawl.
If you all interested must find out the timing before the Sabbath loh -

Ok, I made a trip down this evening.
God bless, an old man, probably the rabbi, was at the gate. They blocked the gate with those metal roadblocks. Can't find a way in. Luckily the man was there.
He told me the Sabbath service is at 9am on Saturday.
Who wants to go?

Since we love God so much and Neon even thinks he is worshipping the same God as them, surely some will make a second trip and worship with God's chosen people.Originally posted by nukewatch:I can only make it on the next Sat. 14 Aug -

But did the old man say whether non-Jews are allowed in? -
i might be able to make it on 14th =)

yeah..i have always wanted to go Jewish synagogue!
-
Wah leow .. I suddenly feel I am the forum recce trooper.
Well, I did ask whether I can go in. If a chinese-looking chinese like me can go in, I believe you all also can bah. -
I think (hope) they don't have the paiseh stuff like offerings, eucharist and altar call.
But if they all wear the prayer shawl and I don't .. then it'll be weird? -
Baruch Haba be'shem Adonai! Hallejuah!
