Disgrifiad

A notice for an annual general meeting of the Llanelli Hebrew Congregation taking place on 19 January 1941 at the Queen Victoria Road Synagogue. The notice is issued by S Miron, President and E. P. Levi, Secretary and Treasurer. The agenda for the meeting covers minutes of the last meeting, the financial statement and treasurer's report and the election of officers.

Members of the Llanelli Hebrew Congregation initially held services for the High Holy Days in the early 1900s at private residences. A purpose-built synagogue was established in 1909 on Queen Victoria Street. Through the 1920s, the community had around 300 members, but the number fell rapidly in the 1930s and never recovered. When the congregation merged with Swansea Hebrew Congregation in the 1980s, membership was down to 20.
