Great Synagogue According to Geoffrey Alderman's in his "The Federation of Synagogues 1887-1987"(repeated by Bernard Homa in his "Orthodoxy in Anglo-Jewry), "Carter" Street Synagogue was one of the 16 congregations that attended the meeting of 16 October 1887 to form the Federation of Synagogues. This was probably a typographical error for "Cutler" Street. The Cutler Street Synagogue is listed as one of the 21 or 22 original federated synagogues on 6 November 1887 in V. D. Lipman's "Social History of the Jews in England 1850-1950" (pp120-121). However, it appears to have later become unaffiliated. |
