The Magain Shalome Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת מגן שלום‎) (Urdu: امن کنیسہ کے سٹار‎) was the cornerstone of a former Jewish community in Karachi Pakistan. The Synagogue was built by Soloman David Umerdekar in 1893. The synagogue was extended in 1912 by Umerdekar’s two sons Gershon Solomon Umerdekar and Rahamim Solomon Umerdekar. A community hall named “Shegulbai Hall” was built by Abraham Reuben Kamerlekar in memory of Shegulabai Solomon Umerdekar.
