The Chesed-El Synagogue was designated as a national monument on 18 December 1998.[2]
The synagogue underwent an extensive renovation in 2016 with the support of the National Heritage Board (NHB) of Singapore.[3] A Jewish Community Centre was built on the synagogue grounds, where the communal Sukkah used to stand. In 2019, the synagogue received its fourth grant from the restoration fund of the NHB for restoration and maintenance of the building.
