The next Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, is to live in Hendon, rather than St Johns’ Wood as his predecessor, it was announced today.
The Central Synagogue in the West End of London will serve as his city base, with plans to provide a reception and other meeting rooms for him.
United Synagogue president Stephen Pack said: “Chief Rabbi-elect Mirvis and Rebbetzen Mirvis are looking forward with much excitement to their move.
“Having the residence in Hendon will provide a wonderful opportunity for Rabbi Mirvis to connect with and have an impact on the many communities across North West London which will be within walking distance.
