The Charles Liché Synagogue is located at 14 Place des Vosges, in Paris (4th arrondissement), within the Hôtel de Ribault, on the 1st floor.

History

In 1963, the synagogue was established.

Charles Liché, originally named Charles Lichenstein, served as the hazzan (cantor) of the Synagogue on Rue des Tournelles, with Rabbi Dr. David Feuerwerker as the rabbi at that time. When the Consistory, under the leadership of Alain de Rothschild, decided to change the rite of the synagogue from Ashkenazi to Sephardic, Liechtenstein continued to be the hazzan of the Synagogue on Rue des Tournelles for some time. Later, he began to conduct a minyan in the former premises of the Marais Study Circle, on the 1st floor of 14 Place des Vosges.

He was appointed by the Consistory as the Rabbi of the Deportees, a purely honorary title in recognition of his services.

Initially called the Synagogue of Place des Vosges, it was renamed on June 16, 2006, in honor of its founder, Rabbi Charles Liché, a survivor of Auschwitz.

After Rabbi Liché's passing, Olivier Kaufmann was appointed as the rabbi of the synagogue.

Every year, a commemoration takes place there in memory of the liberation of the Auschwitz camps.
