18 booklets of reports of the Committee for the Construction of The Great Synagogue in Tel Aviv and afterwards on behalf of the Committee of the synagogue HaGadol in Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, 1921-1944.
The attempts to build a central synagogue for "the Yaffo Congregation in Tel Aviv" began in 1914, but the laying of the cornerstone for The Great Synagogue (at the corner of 110 Allenby Street and Achad Ha'Am) planned by the architect Yehuda Magidowitz took place in 1924. The construction was delayed from lack of funds (until receiving Baron Rothschild's contribution), and the building was dedicated only in 1928.
This collection of booklets has comprehensive information about the first steps for the construction of The Great Synagogue, including name of committee members, early architectural sketches, detailed lists of expenditures, names of members, those who contributed objects, books and those who rented seats (until the mid 1940 s). Apparently, one of the synagogue's members collected the booklets and added handwritten notes and corrections, especially regarding financial data, but also about general topics. Volume 22.5 cm. restored, new cover. Varied condition of booklets, fair-very good.
