  • Milestones in Publishing the Spanish and Portuguese Prayer Book in London
    MILESTONES IN PUBLISHING THE SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE PRAYER BOOK IN LONDON By Dr Roy Shasha, Jerusalem – August 2020 Introduction The year 2020 marks the publication of the first new British edition of the Spanish and Portuguese prayer book in over 100 years. This achievement represents the culmination of many years of planning, a major re-editing of the text and the preparation of a new translation by a small body of dedicated professional staff and a larger number of equally dedicated volunteers. Therefore, this is perhaps an appropriate moment for us to stand back and view this achievement within its historical context. An excellent brief history of the printing of the Spanish and Portuguese prayer book was written by Hakham Gaster in the introduction to his edition of the prayer book, and the writer wishes to acknowledge his debt to this important piece of work. However, the intention and scope of this work is quite different to that of Dr Gaster in a number of respects. 1. We have attempted to list all Spanish and Portuguese prayer books planned, printed, or edited in London, including a number that were not authorised by the Mahamad and one that was written but not published. Also included are all the known Spanish translations of the text prepared in London. 2. Each volume seen has been described in a precise bibliographical fashion, and as far as possible not only reprints, but also bibliographical variants have been noted. 3. Each edition has been placed wherever possible in a historical context. A brief biography of each editor or translator has been included, together with information as to how the books were distributed.

  • Introduction
    Introduction In the preceding sections we have looked into the general strategies of London’s Sephardi congregation with regard to oversight of printed materials as they transpired from the Mahamad’s decisions, and offered an analysis of the logics behind these strategies, as they translated into a defined language policy. In brief, the congregation consciously sought to have full control over printed materials, while at the same time, and not following any specific deci- sion, it created four realms of activity, with each allotted a specific language. This analysis will not be complete without an address of the practices of implementation over the years. Part 3 explores the extent to which the print regulations were applied and the degree to which community members inter- ested in publishing sought out the Mahamad’s permission. Did the Mahamad actually strive to implement its censorial policies? Was it able to effectively apply them? It will be safe to assume that changes made to the censorship by- law over the course of time were not devoid of context and reflected the shifting challenges with which the Mahamad had to cope (some of those chal- lenges were hinted at above). Perhaps then, the best way to analyze the pat- terns of censorship and their amendment over time will be to look into the publications on the one hand, and the censorial trends on the other, that char- acterized the periods between the various versions of the Ascamot, from 1664 and up to the beginning of the nineteenth century. This analysis will also give us a new perspective through which we can understand the metamorphosis of the congregation with the passing of time.

  • Arriving and Belonging: Stories from the St Albans Jewish Community Helen Singer1
    Arriving and Belonging Helen Singer Arriving and Belonging: Stories from the St Albans Jewish Community Helen Singer1 Helen Singer talks about her parents’ refugee background and her involvement in the creation of the online exhibition: 'Arriving & Belonging: Stories from the St Albans Jewish Community'. Through testimonies, objects and family photographs, the exhibition reveals personal stories of migration and heritage, examining universal themes of sanctuary, courage, compassion and starting a new life in Britain. I have lived in St Albans since 1985 and worked at the University of Hertfordshire as a Librarian from 1996 until last year when I retired. Over the last few years, I was involved with two heritage projects at our synagogue, St Albans Masorti Synagogue (SAMS) which led to the development of the Arriving & Belonging exhibition. In SAMS Roots (www.e-sams.org/roots) (2015-2016) we received Heritage Lottery Funding for Caroline Pearce, a biographer and member of SAMS, to interview 12 members of the community about their family stories and what brought them to SAMS. The full transcripts and audio recordings are held in the University of Hertfordshire’s Heritage Hub (https://www.herts.ac.uk/heritage-hub/oralhistoryarchive/sams-roots). This was followed by Mapping SAMS Roots (2017 to date, www.e-sams.org/mapping-sams-roots) where we received over 100 stories from community members. These are plotted onto a virtual map using software called Historypin and the collection contains stories from around the world. With such rich material, we approached Sarah Keeling, Curator at the St Albans Museum + Gallery, and their Board agreed to an exhibition in the Museum scheduled for February – April 2021.

  • S&P Sephardi Community and Bevis Marks Synagogue Heritage
    S&P Sephardi Community and Bevis Marks Synagogue Heritage Foundation ‘Bevis Marks: Britain’s Most Significant Synagogue’ Project Information to Tender For Retail Consultant Return Date: 30th October 2019 Project Brief for the Retail Consultant Introduction and Context S&P Sephardi Community and Bevis Marks Synagogue Heritage Foundation has received a Round 2 Heritage Fund grant for the development of their ‘Bevis Marks: Britain’s Most Significant Synagogue project. The S&P Sephardi Community now needs to commission a Retail Consultant to work with them and the Design Team. Please contact Amanda Newman at [email protected] if you have any queries. Bevis Marks synagogue is a significant heritage asset – it’s Grade I listing; intact Wren-style furnishings; the oldest synagogue in use in the UK – but fundamental to all of these is its continued use since 1701. No other synagogue in Europe has this continuity of practice, of community, of building, of collections. As a result, Bevis Marks is the repository of a unique inheritance, both of physical collections such as ritual silver, textiles and furniture, and of intangible heritage – minhag – of melodies and customs handed down from generation to generation since the establishment of the first community post re-admission in 1656. The features of the building can be read as a social history resource: from the benches that the congregation brought with them from their first house of prayer in Creechurch Lane, to the extra small pews for the youngest children from the community orphanage, to the panes of glass carefully restored after being blown out when the IRA bombed the Baltic Exchange in 1992.

  • The Correspondence of the Mahamad of the Spanish and Portuguese
    The Correspondence of theMahamad of the Spanish and Portuguese Congregation of London during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries1 By R. D. Barnett, M.A., Litt.D., F.B.A., F.S.A. IHE extent to which the Mahamad2 (Wardens) of the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue of London have made public their records shows a remarkable spirit of liberality and enterprise which might well serve as an encouragement and example to others. Already in the last century James Picciotto3 was granted access to their records, and for the Bicentenary of Bevis Marks Synagogue in 1902, the late Dr. Gaster, a former occupant of my present presidential office, and Haham of the was to use congregation, the first their records to make a general survey, theHistory of theAncient Synagogue of Bevis Marks (1901), which?whatever its defects?was no less remarkable for being the first of its kind than for being written in the incredibly short space of six months. It may be also noted that, as has recently come to light, a Dr. Gaster prepared number of detailed appendices for a second volume which, though they got as far as proof, were never published. Since then, we have had my father's translation of the firstMinute Book,4 his history of the Congregation,5 and theAbstracts ofKetuhoth orMarriage Contracts from 1687 to 1837;6 Treasures of a London Temple1 (a description of the silver and other ritual appurtenances) and finally the lateMr. Hyamson's admirable history, The Sephardim of England, published in 1951 for the 250th anniversary of the opening of the Synagogue.

  • The Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, Holland Park the Roots
    The Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, Holland Park The roots of the founding community Jews had lived in Turkey from early times: there was a community at the time of Alexander the Great; and there are ruins of synagogues in Turkey dating from Roman times. However, substantial numbers of Jews began to settle in Turkey from the 13th century. The greatest influx came during the reign of Bayezid II (1481–1512), as a direct result of the expulsion of Jews from Europe, not just from Spain and Portugal but also from Sicily, France and Hungary. On hearing the orders of the expulsion from Spain, Bayezid II is recorded as having instructed the governors of the Ottoman provinces “not to refuse the Jews entry or cause them difficulties, but to receive them cordially”. Thus, Turkey became a haven for Jews fleeing the expulsions. The Spanish Jews settled chiefly in Constantinople, Salonika, Safed, Jerusalem, Damascus, Alexandria, Cairo and Bursa. From then on, Jewish culture flourished in the Ottoman Empire. The Spanish Jews introduced their traditions into the Turkish liturgy as well as their Hebraic, Spanish language, Ladino. Many of our congregants’ names reflect their origins: Saragoussi from Zaragoza, Spain Carmona from Carmona, Spain Toledano from Toledo, Spain Behar from Bejar, Spain Molina (a miller in Spanish) Da Costa (Portuguese) Mendoza (Spanish) Molho (Portuguese) Pereira (Portuguese for pear tree) Coenca from Coenca, Spain Medina, Spain to name just a few. The foundation of the synagogue The Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, Holland Park, was founded by immigrants from Salonika and Istanbul, who began to arrive in Britain from the turn of the 20th century.
