Temple Shalom (formally North Eastern District Jewish Reform Synagogue)[1] was a Progressive Jewish congregation and synagogue situated on Louis Botha Avenue in Highlands North, a suburb of Johannesburg.
[4] A synagogue was designed in the Modernist style by architect Harold Le Roith and consecrated in August 1950.
The opening of the synagogue was attended by Rabbi Moses Cyrus Weiler and William Nicol, Administrator of the Transvaal province.
[2] During the Rosh Hashanah service of the same year, Rabbi Weiler led a memorial service for the former Prime Minister, Jan Smuts.
The Johannesburg Beit Din intervened, warning Orthodox clergy against “fraternization with Reform.”[4]
