Comments on: At Sandys Row Synagogue https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/08/17/at-sandys-row-synagogue-x/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 31 Dec 2018 19:26:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Irene Glausiusz https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/08/17/at-sandys-row-synagogue-x/#comment-1248550 Mon, 31 Dec 2018 19:26:17 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=159488#comment-1248550 I had an Aunt Milly (nee Harris) and who married Jack Symons at Sandys Road Synagogue. They both lived in the old tenements in Stoney Lane. The date – circa 1942. Because of the blitz, they didn’t want to leave my grandmother Hannah Harris for too long, so spent their honeymoon at a hotel next to Liverpool Street Station. Romantic – possibly not, but in the circumstances, probably a kind choice.

His son, Ernest, designed Shell-Mex House and together with Delissa Joseph [nephew of the former, cousin of the latter] they designed most of the UK’s ‘cathedral’ synagogues. Nathan and Ernest both did a huge amount of community work including designing what we now call social housing and also boys and girls clubs, etc

It evoked long ago memories of my Jewish grandparents and family, and resonated as a back drop to my personal journey and discovery of Judaism.
Thanks go to great Aunt Milly and cousin Shula Rich

She has introduced a lot of people to the Sandys row synagogue – a magnificent hidden gem.

baths was

“Hot vorter number 44
Hot vorter number 44

Ooo ooo ooo oo
Aa Aa Aa aaaa
Tank you”

He used the baths when they lived at Hambury
street no.23

Cheers
Thank you for the story!
Milly

GA, in the summer of 2016 my visit to the Severs House included a tour of a nearby synagogue so it must have been Sandys Row. However, I don’t recall the interior looking so pristine. We had a delightful female guide who walked us through. I remember the basement area as being badly in need of repair.

In any case, the synagogue looks beautiful and well restored at this point. I also stopped at the Bishopgate Institute on my way there and had lunch at their “Kitchen” shop on my return to Liverpool Street Station. Looking forward to returning to East London…
