Finchley United Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Finchley, England
Finchley United Synagogue sits on Kinloss Garden and features a main prayer hall designed to hold approximately 1,400 worshippers in a modern building. The complex includes additional spaces and facilities to serve the needs of the broader community.
The main building of Finchley United Synagogue was constructed in 1967, reflecting a period of growth for the Jewish community in North London. Its creation responded to the rising population of Jewish families settling in that area.
The synagogue holds both Ashkenazi Orthodox services and a Persian Sephardi congregation within its walls. Visitors can experience two distinct liturgical traditions and prayer styles coexisting in the same space.
The synagogue sits near Henlys Corner on the North Circular Road and is accessible by public transport. Visitors should check ahead to confirm when services or events take place, as regular prayer times are observed.
The synagogue is led by Rabbi Josh Harris alongside Rabbi Yisroel Fine and Attendant Rabbi Heller, an unusual triple rabbinical leadership. This structure shows how the institution serves its diverse community needs.
