The Jewish community took root after [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]'s rise to power, with the first German Jewish immigrants forming the [[Golders Green Beth Hamedrash]]. Soon after, [[Galicia (Eastern Europe)|Galicia]]n Jewish immigrants formed other synagogues. With it came the formation of Jewish schools such as Menorah Primary School before the onset of [[World War II]].

There are close to fifty kosher restaurants and eateries under rabbinical supervision in Golders Green, and more than 40 synagogues throughout the area continuing into neighbouring [[Hendon]], as well as 30 Jewish schools (some in outlying areas owing to space restriction), many of them independent.{{Citation needed|date=October 2013}}
