The Durban United Hebrew Congregation, also known as Silverton Road Shul, is a Modern Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Berea. The congregation was established in 1883 and its synagogues have since been the main places of worship for Durban Jewry.
The congregation has occupied four buildings, most notably the purpose-built New Synagogue from 1904 to 1961 and the Great Synagogue from 1961 to 2017. The latter was one of the country's largest synagogue buildings.
