 Keter Torah Synagogue, formerly known as the Sephardic Community of Greater Detroit, was founded in 1917 by Hazan Jacob and Judith Chicorel from Izmir, Turkey. It is the only Sephardic synagogue in Michigan.
Ashkenazim and Sephardim alike continue to enjoy the Sephardic melodies chanted at every service. Members have been welcomed from more than 20 different countries. Our kehila, located on the NW corner of Orchard Lake Road and Walnut Lake Road, in West Bloomfield, MI, opened in 2002. Services are run in the traditional Sephardic manner.
