The Saatchi Synagogue, also called The Saatchi Shul, is an Orthodox Jewish congregation that worships from a synagogue located at 7/41 Grove End Road, in the City of Westminster, Central London, England, in the United Kingdom. The congregation worships in the Ashkenazi rite.[1]
History
The congregation was founded in 1998 in
Maurice Saatchi.[2][3][4][5][6] The first rabbi of the congregation was Pinchas "Pini" Eliezer Dunner.[7][8][9]
Initially meeting at Andover Place, in Maida Vale, in a part of the building that once formed the Bayswater Synagogue,[1] the congregation subsequently moved its services to the site of the St John's Wood (United) Synagogue, and in 2018 plans were made to merge the two congregations.[10]
Rabbi Mendel Cohen has been the rabbinical leader of the congregation since 2010.
