The Durban United Hebrew Congregation, also known as Silverton Road Shul, is a Modern Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Berea. The congregation was established in 1883 and its synagogues have since been the main places of worship for Durban Jewry.[1]
The congregation has occupied four buildings, most notably the purpose-built New Synagogue from 1904 to 1961 and the Great Synagogue from 1961 to 2017. The latter was one of the country's largest synagogue buildings.[2]
