History
The Western Synagogue was founded in 1761 in Great Pulteney Street, Westminster. The congregation, formally named the Ḥevra Kadisha shel Gemilluth Ḥasadim (Hebrew: חברה קדישא של גמילות חסדים, lit. 'Holy Congregation of Acts of Charity') first met in the home of Wolf Liepman, a prosperous immigrant merchant from St. Petersburg.[2] A series of leased spaces followed until 1826 when the congregation built an elaborate synagogue in St. Alban's Place, Haymarket and renamed itself The Western Synagogue.[4]
The Western Synagogue and Marble Arch Synagogue, itself founded in 1957, merged in 1991.[3]
