History of Sinai Synagogue

Taken from www.sinaisynagogue.org.uk

Founded in 1944, for some time the community met in a variety of halls and front rooms of private houses in the Chapeltown area of Leeds, eventually moving proudly to its purpose-built modern synagogue on Roman Avenue, Roundhay, in 1960.

As the membership grew, this building was extended in the mid 1980’s and it now has a function hall, a library and classrooms as well as the main synagogue. The excellent kitchen facilities enable members, under the supervision of the Rabbi and the Sinai Kashrut and Catering Committee, to prepare Kiddushim, Chavura Suppers, social events and an annual communal Seder at Pesach.

Sinai now numbers some 750 adults and children and continues to grow.
