View from the first floor showing the interior of the 50 seater Chassidishe Synagogue which opened at number 46 Spencer Place in 1935. The Synagogue was built, fitted out and furnished by members of the congregation. The seating was provided by Nathan Solomon of Larchfield Mills and upholstered by Mr. Pitt of Northern Veneers in Leather Street. The Ark, centre, top, was crafted by Barnet Feddy, and the pulpit by Max Kowalsky, both cabinet makers. Another cabinet makers, the firm of I. & H. Goldberg supplied all the hinges. The Ladies' Guild provided four new mantels for the Sefer Torahs. Mrs Jimmy Lewis and Mrs Maurice Leyton made the white table cover for the Bimmah table. The synagogue took three years to complete and during part of that period the congregation met at the Continental Temperance Hotel at 16-18 Brunswick Place for their services, at the invitation of the proprietor, Sholom Addleman. By 1952 the membership had risen to 240 but in later years, as the jewish population migrated from Chapeltown, numbers began to dwindle and the synagogue closed c1983. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Chassidishe Synagogue Spencer Place | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
