Although like many small communities the Margate community is not what it was 40 years ago, when there were many youngsters and a thriving Cheder as well as 7 Jewish hotels and numerous guesthouses in the popular
seaside town, the synagogue still holds regular services and social activities and now has 38 members.
Although Margate Hebrew Congregation is totally independent, it has always been the practice of the synagogue to accepts as members only those who are prepared to acknowledge the authority of the Chief Rabbi of the
United Synagogue.
Following the death of long time minister Rev. Landau, the community like so many others does not have its own minister but its services are conducted by lay members.
