Description: | This booklet contains detailed information about all aspects of the running of the Western Synagogue, from the rights of members to the form of services and the fees for marriages. The congregation of the Western Synagogue was founded in the mid 18th century, serving the Jewish community living west of the City of London, mainly around the Covent Garden neighbourhood. In the mid 19th century it moved to a new location further west, in St Alban's Place, off the Haymarket, in St James's. The building was demolished in 1914, when the synagogue relocated again to Alfred Place, off Tottenham Court Road. Finally, following its destruction in the Blitz, it again relocated to Crawford Place. It closed in 1991. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Out of copyright.
