In 1875 the Grand Synagogue (rue de la Victoire)was established, serving both Aschkenazic and Sephardic communities in a unified French rite. Soon disputes arouse leading to the Sephardic segment breaking away, and spearheaded by the financier Daniel Iffla (“Osiris”), the rue Buffault Synagogue was erected.
