Another merger between Orthodox synagogues in the Redbridge area is in the offing.

Leaders of the Ilford and Redbridge United shuls have written to their members to further a consultation process on the establishment of a new US congregation. Redbridge United was itself the product of a merger between the Clayhall and Newbury Park synagogues.

The letter from the Ilford and Redbridge chairmen, respectively Malcolm Nathan and Mike Callaghan, reports that the two executives have been in discussion over the future of the shuls.

“We asked for the assistance of the US community services department and together we have developed a community plan which we think is viable, financially sound and provides significant benefit for both communities.”
