Expansion

By the 1970s, our cheder had over 400 children, making it one of the largest in the United Synagogue. After 28 years of service, Rabbi Cymberg retired and was succeeded by Rabbi Yisroel Fine, who, along with Rebbetzen Judy and their children, brought significant advancements to our community. During their tenure, the Beit Midrash was refurbished, Wolfson Hillel School was established with Rabbi Fine as a founding governor and its Honorary Principal, and the Cockfosters Learning Centre was founded. Additionally, a satellite community in Hadley Wood was developed, becoming an independent United Synagogue member in 2013. In 1990, Reverend Dov Speier, together with his wife Edit and their children, succeeded Reverend Segal.
