History edit
The synagogue was established in 1959. It was originally one of the synagogues that made up the Eastern Jewry Community, but is now independent.[1]
The synagogue was led by Rabbi Abraham Gubbay until his death in July 2010. The present[when?] rabbi is Rabbi Asher Sebbag, and the hazzan is Mr J. Oved. The synagogue was significantly refurbished in 2001 by Ghassan Cohen and David Gigi.[citation needed]
Services take place daily in the main prayer room. There is a women's seating area separated from the men by a curtain, known in Hebrew as a mechitza. Shabbat services tend to finish at around 12 noon to 1 pm, depending on the time of year.[citation needed]
