The history of the Jews in Taiwan dates back to the mid-20th century. The first sizable presence began in the 1950s, when religious services were held in the United States military chapel, to which civilians also had access.
Currently, there are two synagogues in Taiwan. The Taiwan Jewish Community, which has been in Taiwan since the 1950s, and Chabad Taiwan, which began in 2011 and is also known by the name Taipei Jewish Center.
