A second Sephardi community has joined the Federation of Synagogues, Hendon-based Tiferet Eyal.

Launched in 2002 for the Iraqi-Indian community, it has grown to a membership of 100. The Federation will assist in its search for a rabbi.

Hosting one of the biggest Jewish libraries in north-west London, the synagogue has a keen educational focus. A Shabbat attraction is a hot kiddush lunch. President, Simon Abraham, said that joining the Federation would "help us to grow spiritually and provide the infrastructure and expertise needed to develop and increase our membership". It would also "enhance our position in the wider community".

Netzach Israel Synagogue in Golders Green was the Federation's first Sephardi congregation.
