The Western Marble Arch Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 1 Wallenberg Place, in the City of Westminster, in Central London, England, in the United Kingdom.
The congregation was formed in 1991 as the result of a merger between the Western and the Marble Arch Synagogues, with the former congregation dating from 1761. It is a leading Modern Orthodox congregation and offers religious and social activities to its members and the wider community.[3][4] The congregation worships in the Ashkenazi rite.
History
The Western Synagogue was founded in 1761 in Great Pulteney Street, Westminster. The congregation, formally named the Ḥevra Kadisha shel Gemilluth Ḥasadim (Template:Langx) first met in the home of Wolf Liepman, a prosperous immigrant merchant from St. Petersburg.[1]Template:R/superscript 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.[5]
The Western Synagogue and Marble Arch Synagogue, the latter founded in 1957, merged in 1991.[4]
