Disgrifiad

A black and white photograph of the stained glass window in Ffynone Synagogue which depicts Jacob's twelve sons. The date when the photograph was taken is unknown although it must be during or after 1955 as this is when the construction of the synagogue was completed. The Ffynone Synagogue was built to replace Goat Street Synagogue which was destroyed during the ‘Three Nights’ Blitz’ of Swansea that took place from 19 to 21 February 1941. While other religious buildings such as the Unitarian Chapel were used for services following the raid, a new synagogue was clearly needed. Indeed, in August 1945 a price was agreed on for the site of the replacement synagogue. A war damage claim helped with the costs and the foundation stone was laid by Chief Rabbi Dr Israel Brodie on 30 October 1952. The Chief Rabbi also consecrated the synagogue on 28 April 1955 and it opened the same year. In 1980, the 25th Anniversary of the new synagogue: Ffynone Synagogue was celebrated. Source: Saunders, N.
