The United Synagogue has been holding talks with Ohr Chodosh, the independent congregation run by London Beth Din head Dayan Menachem Gelley in Golders Green, about forming a closer relationship.

A US spokesman said it was looking at "assisting with the development of this growing community", but that discussions were at an early stage.

Only one of the four LBD dayanim, Dayan Ivan Binstock, is based at a US synagogue, St John's Wood.

As well as Dayan Gelley, Dayan Yonason Abraham has his own community, while Dayan Shmuel Simons has a minyan which meets on the Jewish Care campus in Golders Green.
