The chairman and around half the board of North Hendon Synagogue have resigned after months of internal friction in the congregation.

Although members remain reluctant to talk about the dispute, one source said that the board members who quit had wanted a more modern outlook.

Two years ago, North Hendon left the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations and dropped "Adath Yisroel" from the synagogue title.

In an email, chairman Yoni Weisz announced his resignation, along with that of vice-chairman Michael Kesztenbaum and board members Julian Maurer, Daniel Ehreich, Ashley Katz and Daniel Greenberg .
