Interior view of the Chassidishe Synagogue located at number 46 Spencer Place. It was purpose built on land previously occupied by Spencer Hall. The new Synagogue opened in 1935 and was funded and furnished by the efforts and skills of the congregation. The pulpit in the centre, was made by Max Kowalsky, cabinet maker of Crawford Street. Another cabinet maker, Barnet Feddy made the Ark behind the plush curtain given by Mrs Labofski, centre. Above the Ark is a marble tablet bearing the 10 commandments presented by Mr. & Mrs. Samuel Cohen. The two tablets either side of the Ark display a 'Prayer for the new moon' and a 'Prayer for the Royal family' and were presented by Max Goldberg, a tailor. The wooden seating flanking the Ark was the work of the three Collins brothers of S.H. Collins & Co., joiners of 6 Lower Brunswick Street. The seating for the congregation was provided by Nathan Solomon of Larchfield Mills and upholstered by Mr. Pitt of Northern Veneers, Leather Street. The synagogue closed in the 1980s and services continued for a time at Talmud Torah in Shadwell Lane. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Spencer Place Chassidishe synagogue | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
