Temple Emil

The Temple Emil was a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Taft Avenue, in Metro Manila, The Philippines.

[4][5] Its construction was funded by the family of Emil Bachrach, an American Jew,[6] at a time when the Philippines was technically an insular territory of the United States.

[7] The synagogue was destroyed in World War II during the 1945 Battle of Manila which led to the end of the Japanese occupation.

[1] The Beth Yaacov Synagogue was built in 1982 to replace Temple Emil at another site in Makati.
