Today Jeff and I visited ohel Leah synagogue in Hong Kong. It's a Wednesday morning. Usually a quiet time. We attended morning services. They were just over a dozen gentleman and I was there and one other woman. In order to enter there is a very good security check. We were carefully screened in Israeli style security checks. There was a metal detector. The gentleman in the services were not overly friendly to new faces. Although at the end of the service I table is set up in a lovely dairy breakfast was served. The rabbi gave a short lesson, and welcomed a lesson from my husband. I would be willing to go back again. The building is beautiful, the sanctuary is beautiful. It is an Orthodox style service. They use art scroll siddur and eitz Haim Chumash I sat upstairs in the balcony...It is in the midst of the Jewish community center. I did not have a chance to explore the community center, although I did see lots of signage for programs. It looks like a very active place. The gentleman say that on a Shabbat morning there is a packed house.we befriended some other tourists. Looks like this is a community that embraces a lot of out-of-town people. Thank you for your hospitality. read more
