Albert Court Synagogue and Kosher Dining Room was a private company limited by guarantee registered at Companies House (company number 04985687). Its business was classed as activities of religious organisations, and it was dissolved in 2021.[1] A search of the Charity Commission register for the name found no registered charity.[2] One of its directors, Andrew Benjamin Stern, is a trustee of Laniado Hospital UK, which raises money for the hospital founded by the Sanz-Klausenburg dynasty. That is the only dynasty link found.

Dynasty link
No dynasty is named on the company's own record. The only link to Sanz-Klausenburg is that Andrew Benjamin Stern is also a trustee and director of Laniado Hospital UK.[9][10] According to Rabinowicz, the Laniado Hospital in Kiryat Sanz, Netanya, was opened by the dynasty's founder.[11] Stern's role at that charity does not establish any affiliation between the synagogue company and the dynasty.
