History
Hackney and East London Synagogue has its origins in prayer meetings held at a private house from 1881. By 1885 funds had been raised to construct a Synagogue on Devonshire Road (now known as Brenthouse Road), which was completed in 1897. At this date it was known as South Hackney Synagogue and became a constitutent of the United Synagogue. In 1936 the Synagogue was enlarged and the name changed to Hackney Synagogue. Since 1993 it has been known as the Hackney and East London Synagogue.
