Magen Abraham Synagogue is the only synagogue in Ahmedabad and in the State of Gujarat. Built in 1934 the synagogue is the "House of God" where the small closely knit Bene - Israel Jewish Community of Ahmedabad numbering 300 comes to pray and celebrate the High Holidays and Festivals.

Magen Abraham Synagogue completed 50 years in 1984 having been consecrated in 1934 and it still beautifies the area of its situation opposite the Temple of the Parsees. Whereas most of the Synagogues in India have pillars inside to support the Ladies galleries, this Synagogue has no pillars to support the ladies gallery and the architecture is much appreciated by every guest visiting the Synagogue. This Synagogue building is in keeping with high standards of Architecture similar to those of Public and State (Government) buildings in Ahmedabad. History: In 1906, Dr. Abraham Erulkar's son Dr. Solomon Erulkar donated a plot of Land admeasuring 750 Sq. yards in the locality now known as Bukhara Mohulla, opposite Parsi Fire Temple for construction of the present Magen Abraham Synagogue. The Corner Stone of the Synagogue building was laid on October 19th, 1933 and the Consecration Ceremony took place on September 02nd, 1934. The Synagogue building was built by most gracious and handsome donations from the Bene-Israel Congregation of whom Dr. Solomon Erulkar's donation was the maximum. This was the second reason why the Synagogue was name after Dr. Abraham Benjamin Erulkar's name as the founder of the Prayer Hall. Magen Abraham Synagogue had a large number of Sefer Torahs and hence a large size "Hekhal" was provided. The last Dr. Miss Abigael who stayed very near to the Synagogue presented Big Sefer Torah to this Synagogue. The Sefer Torah was received from Israel and first installed in her house observing all religious formalities and then on the day of bringing it to the Synagogue, it was taken out in a large procession through the public streets singing the Holy songs sung a Simchat Torah festival during the seven rounds
