In 1934, a seed of discontent sprouted among thirteen members of the Edgware United Synagogue. This led to the birth of the Edgware and District Reform Synagogue. Edgware and District Reform Synagogue wasn’t always at its current location at 118 Stonegrove. The journey began modestly as the “Edgware and District Progressive Jewish Fellowship”. This fellowship, with the help of the West London Synagogue, blossomed into the Edgware and District Reform Synagogue on February 12, 1935. World War II brought a temporary pause, disbanding the congregation in 1939. However, like a phoenix from the ashes, it was revived in 1945. The Edgware and District Reform Synagogue continued to grow, eventually finding its home at 118 Stonegrove. Fast forward to 2017, a new chapter unfolded. Edgware and District Reform Synagogue merged with Hendon Reform Synagogue. This union created the largest synagogue in Europe, now known as Edgware & Hendon Reform Synagogue. This vibrant community boasts a membership of 2,500 families. It’s a testament to the enduring spirit of the thirteen individuals who dared to dream of a different kind of Jewish community back in 1934. Their legacy lives on within the walls of Edgware & Hendon Reform Synagogue, a beacon of Reform Judaism.
