The opening as it read in 2010

Bahrain Synagogue is a synagogue located on Sasa'ah Avenue in the lower-class commercial district of Manama , the capital city of the gulf island of Bahrain .1 The nondescript beige structure, which cannot be identified in any way as a Jewish house of worship, is no longer in use. The tiny Jewish community in Bahrain, numbering approximately 35 out of a total population of 700,000, can rarely muster a minyan required for prayer. Nevertheless, Bahrain is the only country in the Persian Gulf with any kind of Jewish community or synagogue. The community also maintains a small Jewish cemetery .2
