“When Chabad came, it changed everything and made a full Jewish life possible in Thailand.“
— Abi Kashani, President of The Jewish Association of Thailand—Beth Elisheva
The city’s oldest existing synagogue, Beth Elisheva was founded upon the vision of the late Mrs. Elizabeth (Elisheva) Zerner, Thai-born daughter of Thailand’s first official Jewish citizens, the Rosenbergs.
More than fifty years ago, Mrs. Zerner donated a piece of land, upon which stood a flimsy wooden house to serve as the synagogue for Thailand’s fledgling Jewish community. Upon her passing, Mrs. Zerner bequeathed funds to the community to replace the wooden structure with a three-story concrete building, which was completed in 1980. Though at the time, she was one of only a handful of Jewish people in Bangkok, she had the foresight and imagination to envision a bright future for her beloved community.
