| Description | Invitation from the West Central Jewish National Institute (Bet ha-Keneset Shivat Tsiyon), 82 Berwick Street, London, to the consecration of its temporary synagogue, performed by 'Messrs Otto and Ernest [sic] Schiff'; service conducted by 'Rev Davis of the Western Synagogue' and Rev Weissappel; addresses by 'the very Rev the Chief Rabbi Dr Gaster, Rabbi Farber and Dr Zalkind'. |
| AdminHistory | Founded in 1910 by local workers as an educational and cultural centre for the community; intensely Zionist in outlook, it became a centre for the teaching of modern Hebrew; classes were held every weeknight and on Sundays; numbers attending classes and services at the Institute declined in the 1920s, and after many years discussion, it finally merged with the West End Talmud Torah in 1948, to create the West End Great Synagogue. |
