The East London Synagogue
- Outpost of Another World
The East London Synagogue, established 1877 in Rectory Square, Stepney Green, began life as a ‘deficit synagogue’ against the stated policies of the United Synagogue, who until that time, had only operated on the basis of supporting those communities who would be self financing. Described by the Revd. Joseph Stern as ‘a rallying point in this locality’ what was the intended role for this ‘outpost of another world’? Did it succeed? A short history of the early days of the East London Synagogue, Rectory Square, and an examination of how it came to be established in 1877. With rare photos of the interior of the building taken before its closure. Expanded edition with many more photos. 58 pages.
