The & Community Life, March 2003

Royalty and the The Jewish community in the has always taken 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 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.

They specifically targeted Jewish children and used inducements such as food, clothing and even money to encourage parents to send their children to these schools.

This warning was read out in the Great Synagogue and on the following Sabbath at the New, Hambro and Western Synagogues. Bevis Marks refused to accept it.

Federation of Synagogues: Special Collection (Items 416 - 454) The Federation of Synagogues was established in 1887 at the instigation of Samuel Montague (later Lord Swaythling). Concerned that the formality and august cathedral like edifices of the United Synagogue were alien to the recently arrived immigrants from Eastern Europe, he organised the small Chevrahs and Shtibels into a Federation to support each other. It started with a group of 16 minor congregations which grew to 51 by 1912. This unusual collection of primary material provides an interesting snapshot of an immigrant community in London in the 1920s and 1930s. For example, the language of synagogue documents reveal how immigrants adapt to changing social realities. At Grove Street Great Synagogue, the 1923 AGM and financial report was all in Yiddish. By 1939, half was in Yiddish, and by 1948 it was mostly in English. In 2003, Grove Street synagogue, and most of the others in this list, no longer exist. Financial statements, fundraising activities and membership cards are part of this wide-ranging collection that would make an important addition to a library or museum collection. £3,850

Currently, the Samaritan community has approx. 650 members, living in Holon and Mt Gerizim in Israel. Size: 11 x 19 ½ ins. nd. £19,850 Transcription: Line 1 BShM YHWH H[?BRWK or ?GDWL] Line 2 M’L ‘BYK WY’[ZRK] Line 3 W’L ShDY YBRKK Line 4 ‘MN ‘Umira al -bayt al-mubarak fi Jumada al-Ula sanat 1193 Translation: Line 1: In the Name of God the [mark of abbreviation, implying ‘Blessed’ or ‘Great’ or a similar title]’ Line 2-3: ‘By the God of thy father [who] shall help thee, and God Almighty [who] shall bless thee’. Genesis 49:25 (the first six words of Jacob’s blessing to Joseph) Line 4, Part 1: ‘Amen’, Line 4, Part 2: ‘This blessed house was built in Jumada I 1193’, This is in Arabic and corresponds to the 18th May - 16th June 1779. This date was probably added later because although Samaritans have used Arabic since the 10th century, they used Samaritan only for formal inscriptions. Provenance: The printed description, read by the former owner, Dr. Alfred Cooper Fryer, to the Clifton Antiquarian Club on 27th November 1895, (Vol iii. pp. 149-150), states ‘... The stone was sold by the officers of the Samaritan Church to the Chief Rabbi of the Dutch Jews, and ... eventually ... my father (the late Alfred Fryer of Wilmslow) ... purchased it in the East in ... 1870, and had it sent to England’. Dr. Fryer was elected F.S.A. in 1901.

When his son donated this stone to the Bristol Baptist College, he said “it would appear that, at a much later date, the unoccupied portions of the stone were utilised for another inscription in Arabic. This might refer to extensive repairs, or a rebuilding of the synagogue, or to some other building in the town. It is no uncommon thing to find the Arab conquerors carving their inscriptions on ancient tablets.”

M. Baillet lists all the known 137 surviving inscriptions in his important article, ‘Samaritains’ in ‘Supplément au Dictionnaire de la Bible’, ed. Jacques Briend et al., Vol. XI, 1990. (pp. 860- 874). The inscription in this catalogue is not mentioned in his article and is new to the world of modern scholarship.

The Sefer Torah itself is no longer present. The cylinder is 73cm high and has a diameter of 26cm. £8,650 575. Torah Scroll. circa 1920 from North Africa, written on goatskin.

It may have been hung on such a board as there is a small hole at the top to hang it up. The plaque is painted and Tal U’mata is painted in the middle. See picture in the middle of the back cover. £475 581. Adler, Nathan Marcus. SILK imprint presented “To the Reverend , Chief Rabbi of the British Jews, on his first visit to the Maiden Lane Synagogue” London, 1846. Printed on silk, 380 x 255mm., Hebrew and English. Maiden Lane was a breakaway Minyan from the Western Synagogue. The nature of the dispute is not certain but probably stems from a brawl that took place at the Kol Nidrei service which started when the son of Judah Davis was not allowed to sit in the seat his father thought him entitled to. £725

Synagogue poster – rare: a complete halachic work printed as a poster Zaler, Isaac be Moshe Menachem, Tikun Yitzchak, Warsaw 1912 This large synagogue wall poster is a compendium of halachic information applicable to reading the Torah on Sabbaths, holidays and weekdays. It includes halachic rulings if a mistake is noticed in the Torah scrolls while reading, errors regarding the calling up of the Cohen and the Levi, and information about the readings for special occasions. There are approbations from Rabbi Meir Yechiel Halstuk of Ostrovtza, a leading Polish Hassidic rabbi, and of two prominent Warsaw rabbis. In his introduction, the author, known for his popular works Yalkut Yitzhak and Minhath Yitzhak, points out that disputes during the Torah reading often arise due to a lack of familiarity with these complex halachic questions. This leads to interruptions to the synagogue services which reflect a lack of respect for the Torah scrolls that remain lying on the reader’s desk while a rabbi is consulted. Measuring 80 x 58 cm, the poster has been slightly worn with small holes in places (hardly affecting the text) and is backed by cloth. As far as we can ascertain, there are no other copies available. £275 584. Agudath Harabonim– Union of Orthodox Rabbis of U.S. and Canada. Broadside. A WARNING AGAINST REFORMS.
