• (ii) Report on Masorti Olami's website 2 April 2010. There was some controversy regarding this move, as Garnethill is an orthodox synagogue and although the Masorti congregation was only renting a large room, there was concern in orthodox circles that it would give the impression that Garnethill had become a Masorti synagogue. ↵
