The Last Jews of Myanmar

Myanmar is well-known for its diversity and perhaps the best place to see this is Yangon, the country's largest city. Here visitors can find peoples from most of the nation's many ethnic groups like the Shan, Kachin and Chin. Yangon is also the best place to see Myanmar's different religious groups. Christians, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists all call Yangon home. But what's less well-known is that Yangon has a Jewish community, albeit one that is tiny and on the brink of extinction. One of the few remaining examples of the once thriving Jewish culture is the Musmeah Yeshua Synagogue. Situated in the Muslim section of town it is the last remaining Jewish house of worship in Myanmar. COCONUTS TV visited the temple to meet Sammy Samuels, one of the temple's caretaker's.
