The Ohel David Eastern Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 4-14 Broadwalk Lane, Golders Green, in the Borough of Barnet, London, England, in the United Kingdom. The congregation, that comprises Sephardi Jews from many parts of the world, especially Iraqi and other Mizrahi Jews, worships in the Sephardi rite.

History

[edit]

The synagogue was established in 1959. It was originally one of the synagogues that made up the Eastern Jewry Community, but is now independent.[1]

The synagogue was led by Rabbi Abraham Gubbay until his death in July 2010. The present[when?] rabbi is Rabbi Asher Sebbag, and the hazzan is Mr J. Oved. The synagogue was significantly refurbished in 2001 by Ghassan Cohen and David Gigi.[citation needed]

Services take place daily in the main prayer room. There is a women's seating area separated from the men by a curtain, known in Hebrew as a mechitza. Shabbat services tend to finish at around 12 noon to 1 pm, depending on the time of year.[citation needed]
