About Us

The name “Edmond J. Safra” is synonymous with philanthropy and benevolence. A Lebanese-born Jew who rose to prominence in the banking industry, Mr. Safra supported a remarkable diversity of institutions and charities during his lifetime. While his legacy of giving affected Jewish communities worldwide, his generosity may have had its greatest impact on the various Sephardic Jewish communities in the United States and abroad. An example of how Mr. Safra’s policy of supporting new Jewish institutions continues even after his untimely death, can be found in the Edmond J. Safra Synagogue.

The Edmond J. Safra  and  Joseph S. Jemal Synagogue are our two beautiful Synagogue buildings located in the heart of Deal, that are here accommodate our growing community. Under the leadership of Rabbi Isaac Farhi, we have prayers and classes every day and on Shabbat, all year long.
