[4] On September 23, 2019 it was announced that the Union Libérale Israélite de France and the Mouvement juif libéral de France would merge, creating an association called "Judaïsme en mouvement" (Judaism in Movement).

[5] The original building, a painters studio located at 24 rue Copernic, was rented in 1907 and later bought in 1921.

[6] In 1923-1924, having acquired the building, the community began construction on an actual synagogue, preserving the original oratory as a social hall for Kiddush.

The building was designed by Marcel Lemarié (1864-1941), architect and author of L’Architecture moderne et l’hygiène.

Lemarié also designed the Palais de la Danse for the 1900 Paris Exhibition, the building that became the Belleville Pathé cinema, the Post Office at 93 boulevard du Montparnasse, the Luxor Cinema and the Château de Toussus-le-Noble, which is listed as a Monument historique.
