Laws of the Congregation of the Hambro Synagogue – London, 1845
Laws of the Congregation of the Hambro Synagogue. London: S. Magnus, 1845. English and some Hebrew.
The book comprises the laws of the congregation of the Hambro Synagogue of London, which deal with the management of the synagogue and the institutions of the community: the prayer times on Sabbath and Jewish holidays, the version of the prayer, the position-holders and their authorities, the position of the rabbi, the activity of the charity association, Chevra-Kadisha, the cemetery, and more.
The Hambro Synagogue was founded in 1707 by Mordechai of Hamburg, son-in-law of the celebrated Glückel of Hamlin, as a break-away from the Great Synagogue of London. In 1936, after a number of vicissitudes, the Hambro Synagogue closed and again became amalgamated with the Great Synagogue.
