Although the congregation does not appear to be listed in the first (1896-1897) and subsequent Jewish Year Books. There is evidence that indicates that the congregation existed until at least 1922. The Jewish Chronicle obituary of Rabbi Israel Dainow appeared in the Jewish Chronicle of 17 March 1922. The Obituary states that Rabbi Dainow arrived in London in 1877, and after duties as a maggid, he was appointed Rav. of the Kalischer Synagogue, which position he held for 35 years. Also, according to Ron Altshul, a great-grandson of Rabbi Dainow, the ketubah of Rabbi Dainow's daughter, Raysa, on her marriage to Rav. Morris Altshul, states that the marriage was performed at the Kalischer Synagogue in 1898. However, the congregation may have merged into or changed its name to the
Great Alie Street Synagogue.
