Rabbi Ephraim and Malki Guttentag are to leave Hampstead Garden Suburb Synagogue at the end of July to become the senior rabbinic couple of Whitefield Hebrew Congregation in Manchester.
The Guttentags have been community rabbi and rebbetzin of the United Synagogue community for three years after arriving from St Anne’s Hebrew Congregation.
Brought up in Gateshead, Rabbi Guttentag is a cousin of Rabbi Jonathan Guttentag, who had been minister of Whitefield for many years until last year.
“Malki and I, together with our children, have enjoyed our time at HGSS and appreciate the tremendous opportunities it has given us,” he said.
