Background
History
The Western Synagogue was founded in 1761 in Great Pulteney Street, Westminster. The congregation, formally named the Ḥevra Kadisha shel Gemilluth Ḥasadim () first met in the home of Wolf Liepman, a prosperous immigrant merchant from St. Petersburg. 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. The Western Synagogue and Marble Arch Synagogue, the latter founded in 1957, merged in 1991.
