Our Community
Two Pillars, One Family
At the heart of the Sephardic Kehila Centre are two institutions that have shaped generations — our congregation and our school.
בית כנסת אביר יעקב
Abir Yaakob Synagogue
Under the leadership of Rabbi David Kadoch, the Abir Yaakob Congregation is a dynamic spiritual home at the heart of the Sephardic Kehila Centre. Shabbat and Yom Tov services fill our awe-inspiring main Sanctuary, which welcomes over 800 worshippers, while weekday tefillot are held in the more intimate Medrash.
