Local Government District: New Cross and Peckham are districts of southeast London, now respectively within the London Borough of Lewisham and the London Borough of Southwark, Inner London Boroughs created on 1 April 1965, within the administrative area of Greater London. Previously, New Cross and Peckham were respectively within in the former Metropolitan Borough of Deptford and the former Metropolitan Borough of Camberwell (both established in 1900) within the former County of London (established in 1889), all of which entities were abolished The Synagogue in St. John's Wood, close to the centre of London, was opened in 1881 and is one of the most beautiful in London and a joy to pray in. We are affiliated to Masorti Judaism and the World Council of Conservative Judaism. Our clergy are members of the Rabbinical Assembly and the Cantors Assembly. NLS is a meeting place for tradition and modernity; a place for open minds and open hearts. We are a diverse crowd, hailing from around the globe and across - and even beyond - the Jewish community. We make our religious home in a Synagogue that celebrates difference, loves tradition and is committed to our future. Lost synagogues can be found in many American cities and towns, as well as in Canada, Europe and elsewhere. What makes the situation different in the United States as opposed to areas in Europe where Jews were forced out is that the patterns of demographic change have occurred for more or less voluntary reasons. I wrote about it for my book The Lost Synagogues of the Bronx and Queens (2011). My late father-in-law's caretaker attended the church that bought it! BTW is that the shul that Bernard Madoff attended or another in Laurelton? A beautiful synagogue in New Orleans is now a church, and there is one in London that is a mosque.

  • Catalogue Three Synagogue
    The Synagogue & Community Life, March 2003 Royalty and the Jews The Jewish community in the United Kingdom has always taken Rabbi Chanina’s dictum to pray for the welfare of the ruling powers (Ethics of the Fathers 3:2) very seriously. Siddurim (daily prayer books) and Machzorim (festival prayer books) published in England have printed the prayer for the salvation of the Monarch from at least the time of King George III who reigned from 1760 to 1820. Of particular interest are two items produced during the ten month reign of Edward VIII who abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson. Jewish items relating to him are extremely scarce. Items are listed in chronological order. 1.

  • Anglo-Jewish Architects, and Architecture in the 18Th and 19Th Centuries1
    Anglo-Jewish Architects, and Architecture in the 18th and 19th Centuries1 By Edward Jamilly Introduction ENGLISH Architecture, like so many other facets of life and development in these Islands, is remarkable for the easy absorption of quite virile foreign elements. These alien influences have, in the course of time, become so assimilated into the native stream that their origin is forgotten and the results come to be accepted as peculiarly English. The successful export today of English tailoring products and quality textiles, the skills that are taught by the Royal School of Needlework and reach their highest expression in such works as Queen Mary's carpet may perhaps be traced to the weaving traditions brought by Huguenot refugees, like the Courtaulds, from France and the Low Countries. The national monuments ofWestminster Abbey give us the names of those who revived the art of sculpture in 18th century England, men such as Rysbrack, Schee makers, Roubiliac, Delvaux, leMarchand, names from Flanders and France; in the applied arts numerous English country houses pay tribute to the skill of Italian and French craftsmen and decorators?Tijou's lovely ironwork at Chatsworth and Hampton Court, the plasterwork and paintings of Cipriani, Zucchi, Angelica Kauffman and others. So it was in architecture?the essence of English Romanesque came with William the Norman, and many a Gothic church speaks the linguafranca; East Anglia owed much of its regional character to building styles imported with a king fromHolland and to the wool trade with Baltic and Hanseatic ports ; Renaissance in England was inspired by the earlier movement in Italy and later in its development took account of French models as well, whilst countless public buildings would lack their classical facades but for the rediscovery of Greek and Roman antiquities.
