유대교 회당(시나고그)
주소: 서울 용산구 이태원 미 8군 영내
예배: 안식일 금요일 오후 6시
주한 미군들 가운데 유태인이 꽤 많다고 합니다. 이들을 위한 미국영내 회당 시나고그입니다. 한국 국적인 사람은 반드시 출입시 신분증을 제시 해야 합니다. 천주교나 개신교와 예배 방법이 약간 다른데 남여구분 커텐이 가운데 쳐져 있고 히브리어로된 토라를 읽는 것도 색다른 풍경이었습니다. 예배후에 교인몇몇이 앞에 나와 같이 어깨를 두르고 노래를 합니다. 아래 사진은 예배와 설교, 그리고 랍비 아들의 모습입니다. 이곳 출입은 미군기지 출입이 가능한 사람만이 참석할 수 있습니다. 이곳의 유일한 한국인 유대교 신자가 한 분 계십니다. 최근 서울 이태원에도 Chabad Korea 가 새로 문을 열었는데 유대인이 아니면 절대로 출입할 수 없다고 합니다.

The first Jewish settlement in South Korea was established during the Korean War (1950-1953). Hundreds of American Jews joined the armed forces in protest of the Communist invasion from the North. During the war, Chaim Potok served as a U.S. Chaplain in Korea. It was from these experiences that influenced his later novels, The Book of Lights and I am the Clay.
Most of the present Jewish community in South Korea reside in Seoul. The community is comprised of U.S. military personnel and their families, business people from around the world, English-language journalists and teachers, and welcomes many visitors throughout the year. According to the 2012 American Jewish Yearbook, there are approximately 100 Jews living in South Korea. Most of the community’s membership is continuously fluctuating, with the departure of some military companies and the arrival of new soldiers. However, since the Korean War a few Jewish families have permanently settled in South Korea and work in various businesses or as teachers, but the majority of the community are transient military soldiers stationed in South Korea until their time of duty is concluded.
A limited amount of imported, packaged kosher food is available at some of the larger department stores, such as Shinsegae, Costco, and E-mart.
Currently, Israel and South Korea maintain full diplomatic relations. The Israeli Embassy is located in Seoul.
