Ohel Yaakov Synagogue is a synagogue located in Tondano, North Sulawesi. The synagogue was built by a tourist from the Netherlands named JP Van Der Stoop and his wife [3] and founded on September 17, 2004.[4] The synagogue stands on 400 square meters of land and the building area is only 7 x 15 meters.[5] The couple funded Yaakov Baruch to buy the building from his uncle, Leo Van Beugen, to convert it into a synagogue.[6] Before that, Jews in Indonesia had to move around when they wanted to worship by renting a building in the city of Manado. The synagogue was busy with guests from outside the city and abroad. The synagogue was renovated in 2009, to coincide with the World Ocean Conference which was held in Manado.[7][8] At the event, Jewish guests were directed to the synagogue in Tondano to worship.[9]

In 2009, the regional governments of North Sulawesi and Minahasa helped renovate the building and pave the road in front of the synagogue.[10]
