ingapore is home to a tiny orthodox Jewish community numbering approximately 1,500, consisting of mostly professionals often relocated for short periods of time for business or government work. Conversely, the Singaporean community in Israel is not large

The Singapore nation came after the state. The Jewish nation, on the other hand, traces back to 5,000 years of Jewish history that long preceded the Jewish state. Israel has the Torah, Talmud and cultural practices unique to the Jewish people. In Singapore, the equivalent is a colonial inheritance of institutions alongside a patchwork of immigrant ethno-religious practices mixed in a melting pot
