Disgrifiad

Extracts from certain resolutions passed at general meetings of the Newport (MON) Hebrew Congregation, held at the Nathan Harris Memorial Hall, Newport, between 1964 and 1972. The resolutions cover issues relating to membership subscriptions, burial rights, officers and personal donations to the synagogue.

Newport Monmouthshire Hebrew Congregation was founded in 1859 by orthodox Jews meeting at a temporary synagogue in Llanarth Street. A synagogue at Francis Street was opened in 1869 and consecrated by the Chief Rabbi Dr Herman Adler in 1871. In 1934 the congregation moved to the Nathan Harris Memorial Hall in Queen's Hill which was converted to a synagogue. In 1997 this synagogue was closed, and the congregation moved to the Prayer House by the Jewish Burial Ground on Risca Road. Within 20 years the congregation had dwindled to a few members able to attend and this too had ceased to hold services.
