The synagogue is one of the largest in Asia outside of Israel. Within the extensive grounds of the synagogue there are two
Jewish schools that are both operated by the Sir Jacob Sassoon High School Trust and the E.E.E. Sassoon High School Trust, in which Jewish children were originally educated. Over time most of the Bagdadi Jews moved to the more affluent
Colaba area or abroad to Israel, Australia, Britain and Canada. With the scarcity of Jewish students, the schools have opened to all communities and currently provide for the population in the vicinity, which is 98%
Muslim. The synagogue was restored for the celebration of the 150th anniversary in 2011. == Gallery ==
