About
An Orthodox synagogue, independent of the Consistoire, at 36 rue Basfroi in Paris’s 11th arrondissement.
The sanctuary, rue Basfroi
Early 20th century
A shtibel of the Sfard (Polish) rite founded by Messrs Mongate and Kanterovitch, with no official rabbi, under the spiritual authority of the chief rabbi of the rue Pavée synagogue and the Agudas Hakehilos (אֲגֻדָּת־הַקְּהִלּוֹת).
The 1980s
Led by president Dr Achille Yehiel Naftalis and vice-president Mr Rothbart, the old oratory became a modern, functional synagogue. A mikveh was built in the building, and prayers never stopped during the works.
The Rabbanim
Rav Yaacov Shlamme was the shul’s first Rav, followed by Rav Lederberger, then Dayan Rav Yermiyahu M. Kohen until 2014. Rav Mi’hel Reizs also served as the community’s chazan.
Since 2015
Rav Shmouel Mortchelewicz has served as Rav of our Kehila since 12 November 2015.
