In the early 1960s, the number of Jewish on the increased thus leading to Chief Rabbi David Asseo making an application to the government for the of a synagogue on the Island. After obtaining permission, the synagogue was built in 1968. The synagogue was named in honour of Yaakov Mazo who made a effort in the of the synagogue on the Island.
