View of the Ark and the pulpit at the Chassidishe Synagogue at number 46 Spencer Place. The congregation moved into the purpose built synagogue in 1935 after years of saving. Many members of the working class congregation were in trade and had skills which they were able to apply to the fitting and furnishing of the new synagogue. The Ark was made by Barnet Feddy, and the pulpit by Max Kowalsky, both cabinet makers. The seating was provided by Nathan Solomon of Larchfield Mills and upholstered by Mr. Pitt of Northern Veneers Ltd. on Leather Street. On the wall flanking the Ark are two prayers for the 'new moon' and the 'Royal family' presented by Max Goldberg. The marble tablet above the Arc inscribed with the 10 commandments was presented by Mr. & Mrs. Samuel Cohen. The two wooden seats for the President and the Rabbi either side of the Arc were the work of the three Collins brothers of S.H. Collins & Co. joiners, of number 6 Lower Brunswick Street. The plush curtaining front of the Arc was presented by Mrs. Labofski. | 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 |
