Edgware & Hendon Reform Synagogue

Edgware & Hendon Reform Synagogue is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 118 Stonegrove, Edgware, in the London Borough of Barnet, England, in the United Kingdom. The congregation is a member of the Movement for Reform Judaism and was formed in 2017 as a result of the merger between the Edgware and District Reform Synagogue and the Hendon Reform Synagogue communities. The merged community is located on the site of the former Edgware and District Reform Synagogue. In 2019 Mark Goldsmith became senior rabbi. History Edgware and District Reform Synagogue Edgware and District Reform Synagogue originated as "Edgware and District Progressive Jewish Fellowship" and in February 1935 became "Edgware and District Reform Synagogue". In late 1934, a temporary committee was formed to discuss the establishment of a new Reform congregation in London and in on 12 February 1935 it was formally decided to form a synagogue to be called "Edgware and District Reform Synagogue". Hendon Reform Synagogue Hendon Reform Synagogue was founded in 1949 and its first building, in 1955, was at 1 Danescroft Avenue, Hendon. The congregation of Hendon Reform Synagogue began to meet in 1949, though meetings were held in the homes of the founder members until the first synagogue, now the Kingsley Fisher Hall [named after founders Sidney Kingsley and Ben Fisher], was built several years later. Services were held in the Methodist Meeting Hall in the Burroughs and as the congregation grew, in other local halls whilst they dreamt of having their own building. In 1950 a disused tennis club became available and was purchased for the sum of £2,600 with funds raised from donations and social events, and at last HRS had a plot on which to place a building. Work was completed in 1955 and a consecration service for the new synagogue building was held on 6 March by the rabbi, Arthur Katz. Up until its merger, the congregation's senior rabbi was Steven Katz, who succeeded his father, Arthur Katz. The synagogue building was closed after its 2017 merger. The merger In 2016, after a series of meetings in both HRS and EDRS, members overwhelmingly voted to merge. A new entity, Edgware & Hendon Reform Synagogue, was formed on EDRS's former ground, and the inaugural service on Saturday (Shabbat) 15 July 2017 was attended by a huge congregation and also by civic leaders of the local community. The new community is named Edgware & Hendon Reform Synagogue in English and LeDor Vador in Hebrew (the latter also being the name of its monthly magazine).

Leinster Square

Leinster Square () and Prince's Square in London are mirroring garden squares in Bayswater on the cusp of Westbourne and Notting Hill. The south side of Leinster Square comprises the north frontage of Prince's Square. It is within the large additions of 1965 to the City of Westminster, London, W2. The square is in a broad cluster of Victorian estates of private housing with aesthetic landscaping and architecture. These include Prince's Square of symmetrical design, Hereford Road and Garway Road. It is close to Westbourne Grove, the major retail road running across Notting Hill and Tube stations: Bayswater, Queensway and Notting Hill Gate. Much of the area's war damage in the London Blitz was rapidly repaired with houses rebuilt to match the originals. Tall Victorian terraced houses encompass the square, which, on the Hereford Road side, features a proportion of restaurants and cafés. The buildings have basements with black railings, slate mansard roofs, sash windows and yellow bricks with white stucco projections, pediments and dressings. The houses surrounding the square are Grade II listed buildings on the National Heritage List for England. The buildings are grouped into individual listings as 1–6, 7–16, 17–20, 23–26, 21 and 22, 27–34, and 38–57 Leinster Square. 35–37 and 58–64 Leinster Square are listed in two groups with buildings in adjacent Prince's Square. As of 2015, a string of high-end developments was taking place in the square, with new flats and townhouses built behind the façade of two former hotels. History Leinster Square was begun along with adjacent Prince's Square in 1856 and finished in 1864, largely the work of the obscure builder and speculator George Wyatt. The plane trees which still today dominate the gardens date from this time, including the one planted in the middle of the garden on 26 February 1887 in Queen Victoria's Jubilee Year. In 1977, after a period of decline, the garden underwent refurbishment, with extensive planting that largely survives today and the restoration of its iron railings, the originals removed during the Second World War. As of today the garden is accessible to key-holding residents only and managed by the Leinster Square Gardens Association (LSGA), set up in 1976 to rebuild the gardens after the above-mentioned period of neglect. Notable residents Georgina Fanny Cheffins (1863–1932), militant suffragette, died at 25 Leinster Square. Sir Charles Locke Eastlake (1836–1906), director of the National Gallery and author, lived and died at 41 Leinster Square. Sting (born 1951), popular musician, lived at 28A Leinster Square in the late 1970s during the formative years of The Police. In fiction, the chief character of the 1998 film Sliding Doors lived in the square. References External links Leinster Square Gardens Association

Ceux-ci comprennent Prince's Square, de conception symétrique, dont les façades carrées, Hereford Road et Garway Road. Une grande partie des dégâts de guerre subis lors du blitz de Londres ont été rapidement réparés et des maisons ont été reconstruites dans le style des terrasses hautes d'origine. Les grandes maisons mitoyennes victoriennes classées au grade II entourent la place qui, du côté de Hereford Road, compte plusieurs restaurants et de cafés. Les bâtiments ont des sous-sols avec des balustrades noires, des toits en mansarde en ardoise, des fenêtres à guillotine et des briques jaunes avec des projections en stuc blanc, et des frontons. À partir de 2015, une série de développements haut de gamme aura lieu sur la place, avec de nouveaux appartements et maisons de ville construits derrière la façade de deux anciens hôtels. Les bâtiments entourant la place sont classés grade II sur la liste du patrimoine national de l'Angleterre .

Histoire Le Leinster Square a été créé en 1856 avec la place adjacente Prince's Square et a été achevé en 1864, principalement par l’obscur constructeur et spéculateur George Wyatt. Les platanes qui dominent encore aujourd'hui les jardins datent de cette époque, y compris celui planté au milieu du jardin le 26 février 1887 lors de l'année du jubilé de la reine Victoria. En 1977, après une période de déclin, le jardin a été réaménagé, avec de vastes plantations qui subsistent aujourd'hui et la restauration de ses balustrades en fer, dont les originaux avaient été retirés pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. À ce jour, le jardin est uniquement accessible aux résidents et est géré par la Leinster Square Gardens Association (LSGA), créée en 1976 pour reconstruire les jardins après la période de négligence susmentionnée. Résidents notables Sting vivait au 28A Leinster Square à la fin des années 1970, pendant les années de formation de The Police.
