	The House of Rachel
		The ivy-covered Ohel Rachel Synagogue on Shaanxi Road was built by tycoon Jacob Sassoon in 1920 in memory of his wife, Rachel.
		Ohel Rachel (``House of Rachel'') stands quietly on Shaanxi Road, a stately Greek Revival temple whose grandeur is somehow enhanced by the patina of age (and half a century's worth of ivy).
		The imposing Ohel Rachel Synagogue, which faces Jerusalem, was the largest synagogue in Asia, with the capacity to hold a congregation of 700 -- not coincidentally, the number of the Sephardic Jewish population in Shanghai at the time.

		According to Henry Ng, the fund’s executive vice president, Ohel Rachel was chosen because it symbolizes the long history of the Jews in China.
		During the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, Ohel Rachel’s windows, chandeliers and ornaments were smashed, and the building was then used for a variety of government functions.
		Ohel Rachel is still owned by the city government, which lets Shanghai’s Jewish community of approximately 300 — which is served by a Lubavitch rabbi — use it only a few times a year.

		The board of Ohel Rahel set the goal to at least provide the most necessary and basic food to the very poor members of the Viennese Jewish Community.

		In 1999, the newly-restored Ohel Rachel synagogue was the site of High Holy Days services for the first time in nearly 50 years, led by Rabbi Shalom Greenberg, rabbi of Shanghai's Jewish community and emissary of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.

		Ohel Rachel is still owned by the government, which lets Shanghai's Jewish community of approximately 300 use it only a few times a year, though through continuing negotiations, the Jewish community hopes to use the building more often and eventually purchase the compound that includes it.
