Ohel Moshe Synagogue in Shanghai
 

I know that Ohel Moshe Synagogue in Shanghai was closed for renovations beginning in 1/07. Does anyone know if it is now or soon-to-be re-opened?

Do a Google search. I think they have a web site.

You might want to ask Rabbi Greenberg of Chabad Shanghai. Check their website (www.chinajewish.org/ ) and there is also a reference to Jewish tour of Shanghai. (www.shanghai-jews.com )

I was there in April and it looked as if they had a lot of work remaining.

Thanks, all, and please disregard tonight's re-posting of the question.

This would be better as a reply to the reposting, for those who read it.

We were there a few years ago, and had a marvelous tour of the area with Mr. Wang. He was 83 years old at the time, so I don't know if he is around anymore. ((*))

we were there along with EKSCRUNCHY in April...I agree...looked as though a years worth of work or more to this untrained eye.

Nevertheless, we walked through the former ghetto's streets to try to get a feel for what it must have been during the 30's and 40's...and the pretty little park nearby offers a small plaque in commemoration of the ghetto. Very nice gesture.

I fully agree with W9...Chabad will give you detailed info.(They now have more than 1800 locations world-wide. Amazing organization.)

I go to check by myself in end of Aug for Ohel Moshe Synagogue in Shanghai and find that newspaper information is wrong.

The old man who is in the charge of the building who told me that it may reopened end of this year .( Till Aug, i find it is still under repaired)
