Hull History Centre: Records of the Hull Jewish Community
C DJC
RECORDS OF THE HULL JEWISH COMMUNITY
1767-2012
Accession Number: 11/27
Historical Background: The existence of a Jewish Community in Hull can be dated at least
to the 18th century. More solid evidence can be found from the early 19th century and census
estimates provided by the chief Rabbi suggest that in 1851 the Jewish population in Hull
numbered 200. According to the Jewish Yearbook almost half a century later in 1898 the
community was 1500 members strong. By 1900, just two years later, this figure had risen to
2000 and by 1910 stood at 2500, at which level it remained until 1935. By 1946, the Jewish
community is believed to have numbered 2000 and remained so until 1955. Between 1955
and 1965 the population rose to 2500, again achieving its highest recorded levels. However,
since the 1960s the Jewish community in Hull has seen a dramatic decline, and in 1990
stood at just 1120, with numbers falling even further to just 670 in 2004.
This 300 year history is documented by the records of a host of Jewish organisations and
governing boards; in the records of individual congregations and synagogues that have
existed at various times throughout this period, and in the records of societies, charities and
clubs established by the community to provide for its leisure and social life. It is these records
that constitute the Records of the Hull Jewish Community.
Congregations and Synagogues
The beginnings of a Jewish community in Hull can be traced to the late 18th century. The
earliest concrete evidence dates from 1766 when an Isaac Levy was known to be occupying
a property in Church Lane. Following the Gordon Riots of 1780, the community acquired a
former Catholic Chapel in Posterngate ruined during the riots, and restored it for use as a
synagogue, practicing the Ashkenazi Orthodox ritual. This is the earliest known synagogue in
Hull. Disagreement amongst the community in 1809 led to a rival synagogue being
established at property in Parade Row, Princes Dock, under the leadership of Joseph Lyon.
The congregations of the two synagogues were re-united in 1826 with the building of the Hull
Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Robinson Row. The first foundation stones were laid by
Solomon Meyer (of the Posterngate Synagogue) and by Israel Jacobs (of the Parade Row
Synagogue) on 27 February 1826. The synagogue opened on the 18 June 1827, was rebuilt
and re-consecrated on the 26 September 1852.
Tensions amongst the Hull Hebrew Congregation at Robinson Row again arose in 1902,
leading to the establishment of the Western Synagogue in Linnaeus Street by a break-away
group of families. In September 1902 Mr O.E. D'Avigdor Goldsmid laid the foundation stone
at Linnaeus Street, and the synagogue was consecrated by Chief Rabbi Reverend Dr Adler
in May 1903. The Western Synagogue remained at this location until its closure in 1994, and
continued to practice the Ashkenazi Orthodox ritual.
The remaining community at Robinson Row synagogue renamed themselves the Hull Old
Hebrew Congregation and established a new synagogue in Osborne Street, where the
community continued to worship in accordance with the Ashkenazi Orthodox ritual until 1993.
The foundation of the synagogue at Osborne Street was laid in 1902. The synagogue opened
on 10 September 1903 at which point the Robinson Row synagogue closed. The Osborne
Street synagogue was enlarged in 1932, destroyed by German air raid in 1941, and
reopened in 1955.

In addition to the Hull Old Hebrew Congregation and Hull Western Synagogues, a third
Orthodox congregation, which came to be known as the Hull Central Synagogue, was
established in 1886 at Waltham Street aka School Street. This congregation accommodated
an expanding Jewish population in Hull resulting from eastern European immigration. In 1914
the synagogue moved from its initial location in Waltham Street to new premises in Cogan
Street where it remained until destroyed during an air raid in 1940. A large house in West
Parade was used for worship 1940-1951, and from 1951 the congregation worshipped at
Synagogue premises in Park Street. The Hull Central Synagogue remained open until 1976
when it closed and congregants joined either the Western or Old Hebrew Congregations.
In 1992, following decades of discussions, the Western Synagogue and Old Hebrew
Congregations officially amalgamated to become the Hull Hebrew Congregation. The old
synagogues were subsequently sold and a new building was constructed at Pryme Street,
Anlaby, Hull, to accommodate the new united congregation. The Pryme Street Synagogue
was consecrated on 2 April 1995 by the Chief Rabbi and remains the home of the active Hull
Hebrew Congregation.
Currently, Hull is home to two active Jewish groups: The Hull Hebrew Congregation at the
Pryme Street synagogue, practicing the Ashkenazi Orthodox ritual; and the Ne've Shalom
Synagogue, established 1964 at Great Gutter Lane, practicing the Reform ritual.
Further synagogues, also practicing the Ashkenazi Orthodox ritual, are known to have been
located at Dagger Lane aka Ten Faith Lane (founded 17th century and demolished around
1700), Prince Street (founded 19th century), and Nile Street (founded 1878). Former
Missions, also practicing the Ashkenazi Orthodox ritual, are known to have been located at
Great Thornton Street Synagogue (founded 1885 and closed 1900), Great Passage Street
Synagogue (founded 1914), and Adelaide Street Synagogue (founded 1926). This collection
does not contain records relating to any of these synagogues. References can also be found
to a 'New Hebrew Congregation', formerly the New Hebrew Burial Society, (closed 1964),
founded 1916, practicing the Ashkanazi Orthodox ritual, at Lower Union Street Synagogue,
and formerly at 4 Beadle Terrace, Goodwin Street, Hull. Some passing references to this
congregation are to be found within this collection.
Jewish Organisations
Over the centuries the Hull Jewish Community has been served by a vast number of
voluntary societies and clubs, communal committees, boards and councils. Notable
organisations governing the spiritual life of the community included the Communal Chevra
Kadisha, a Jewish burial society founded in the early 20th century to oversee the correct
burial of deceased members of the community. They have also included the Hull Board of
Shechita which was established in the 1930s to oversee the provision of kosher food for the
community and was composed of representative members of each of the congregations in
Hull. In addition the Communal Chedar, or Talmud Torah, has provided for the spiritual
education and preparation of Jewish children for participation in the Jewish way of life.
Organisations have also been founded to protect and represent the interests of the
community in wider Hull Society. Such bodies have included the Hull Jewish Representative
Council which was established in the early 20th century to speak on behalf of the Jewish
population of Hull and was responsible for keeping the community up to date with matters
affecting them through the publication of the Hull Jewish Watchman newsletter. They have
also included the Hull Public Relations Committee and the Hull Trades Advisory Council
established in the mid 20th century.

Numerous organisations have been established to promote the welfare of the community,
most notably the Hull Hebrew Board of Guardians, which was established in 1880 to coordinate and oversee charity efforts on behalf of the Jewish poor, sick and elderly in Hull.
These organisations have also included the Hull Hebrew Ladies Benevolent Society, a late
19th century society providing financial aid and support to poor Jews, the Hull Jewish
Friendship Club established in the mid 20th century , the Hull Jewish Blind Society, the Hull
Orphan Aid Society, and the Hull B’nai B’rith mens and women’s lodges and youth
organisation.
The community was active in aiding immigrant Jews coming to Hull from eastern Europe and
significantly aided the welfare of these people through the establishement of the Hull Hebrew
Transmigration Aid Society and the Hull Jewish Association for the Protection of Girls and
Women which sought to ensure the safe passage of Jewish females through the port whilst
awaiting transport to onward destinations.
The Hull community has also been very active in participating in national and international
issues through the establishment of various regional branches of wider associations. Such
branches have included the Labour Friends of Israel, a political party aiming to promote cooperation between Labour parties in Britain and Israel, and the Women’s International Zionist
Organisation, a voluntary organsation aiming to improve the social welfare and education of
people living in Israel.
In addition to these organisations various societies have been established to provide for the
social life of the Jewish Community in Hull. Such societies notably include the Hull Judeans
Maccabi, a dramatic and sporting society incorporating cricket, football, rugby, table tennis
and drama clubs amongst others. Other societies include the Hull Jewish Institute, Hull
University JSOC, the Parkfield Centre, and the Hull Jewish Drama Club.

Arrangement: The choice of arrangement was made after consultation with members of the
community, and also with professional colleagues responsible for cataloguing similar
collections in other record offices and archives repositories. Following consultation an
arrangement consisting of four subcollections was devised in order to provide a logical
structure to the collection, which attempts to recreate the original order of records creation
and to restore provenance to items within the collection.
These four subcollections are as follows:

Hull Association of Jewish
Ex Servicemen and Women (AJEX)
1933-2010
Description: This series contains records relating to the Hull branch of the Association of
Jewish Ex-Service Men and Women (AJEX). AJEX is a national association of regional
branches formed for the benefit of Jewish ex-service men and women, to commemorate
fallen comrades, to provide aid for needy ex-servicemen and women, and to educate future
generations against the horrors of WWII. The Hull branch of AJEX was originally formed as
the 'Duveen Section' of the Royal British Legion in 1929, after a group of ex-soldiers from
Hull attended a national Kaddish at Whitehall marking the erection of the Cenotaph to the
memory of fallen Jewish servicemen. The 90th anniversary of the Kaddish was
commemorated in Hull with a remembrance service arranged by Hull AJEX Branch Chairman
Perris Coupland. The Hull branch of AJEX has been responsible for arranging annual
Remembrance Day services on which occasions parades of members were held and
attended by various civic dignitaries including the many Jewish Lord Mayors and Sheriffs of
Hull. Note that the association's national headquarters is situated in London and is
responsible for the founding of the Jewish Military Museum in London which hosts 'The
Record of Honor', a database of Jewish ex-servicemen and women who served in the British
Armed Forces during the period 1939-1960.

Hull B'nai B'rith Lodges
1909-1990
Description: This series contains records relating to the Hull branch of the Order of B'nai
B'rith. B'nai Brith is a worldwide Jewish brotherhood which was founded in New York in 1843
and which is guided by principles of benevolence, harmony, and brotherly love. The purpose
of the order is to unite all Jews, promoting their interests, developing the moral character of
the Jewish people, developing principles of philanthropy, honour and patriotism, supporting
science and art, alleviating poor and needy, aiding victims of persecution, and providing for
the aged, widows, and orphans. In Hull a men’s lodge was established in the 1930s, followed
later by a women's lodge and a youth organisation. In the late 20th century the men's and
women's lodges began to effect closer co-operation which eventually led to their
amalgamation as the Hull B'nai B'rith Joint Lodge.

Hull Board of Shechita
1933-1981
Description: This series contains records relating to the Board of Shechita, a management
Board established to oversee the provision of kosher foodstuffs to the Hull Jewish population.
According to Jewish Law only meat from certain animals can be consumed, and these
animals must be killed and prepared in accordance with kashrut (Jewish dietary laws). This
involves the slaughter of animals in accordance with the process of shechita by a trained and
certified individual known as the shochet. In addition, only food prepared by Jewish persons
using kosher utensils is permitted to be consumed under the limitations of kashrut. As part of
its work the Board was responsible for appointing a shochet for the city, overseeing the
import of kosher livestock and food stuffs such as bread, milk and cheese, licensing and
regulating kosher butchers and food venders in the city, and approving public venues for
kosher functions.

Hull Brotherly Help Lodge No.19
1903-1919
Description: This series contains records relating to Hull Brotherly Help Lodge No.19 of the
Grand Order of Israel Friendly Society. A Jewish self-help society appears to have been
established in Hull the late 1880s. This early society included amongst its presidents E.
Feitleberg, J. Bush, H. Moscow, H. Solomon, L. Mendlesohn, H. Goldstone, H. Vigodsky,
H.W. Simmons, and F. Zerny. On 30 Jul 1903, the Hull Hebrew Friendly Society was
registered with the Chief Registrar of Friendly Societies, and became an affiliate Lodge of the
Grand Order of Israel, which Order had a Grand Lodge in London. Applicants wishing to join
the Friendly Society had to be proposed by two existing members, known as 'Brothers', and a
1 shilling 'Proposition Fee' was required. Applicants then received an examination by a
medical officer to determine fitness and eligibility for membership. Note: The 'Jewish
Chronicle' of 5 Jan 1900 records the occasion of an AGM of the Hull Hebrew Self Help
Friendly Society, and shows Brother F. Zerny to be President of the Friendly Society at that
time.

Hull Communal Chevra Kadisha
1939-1982
Description: This series contains records relating to the Hull Communal Chevra Kadisha
(Jewish Burial Board). The Board was founded 31 Oct 1937, and an inaugural meeting was
held Thursday 12 Feb 1939 with Rabbi E.S. Rabinowitz as Chairman. At this meeting the
Councils of the Hull Central Synagogue, Hull Western Synagogue, and Hull Old Hebrew
Congregations agreed to the formation of a communal chevra kadisha with the purpose of
overseeing the management of the wider community's cemeteries, funerals, and memorials.
Respect for the dead is an issue of great significance to the Jewish community and when a
member dies the persons body must be properly prepared for burial during a ritual ‘tahara’
(purification) before being dressed in ‘tachrichim’ (white cotton garments). After dressing and
placing in a casket watchers are assigned to guard the body until the funeral. Immediate
family of the deceased undertake a week long period of mourning during which the appointed
members of the community will provide sustenance for them. In addition, annual memorial
observances are kept to mark the ‘Yahrtzeits’ (anniversaries) of deceased family members.
The chevra kadisha receives contributions from community members in order that it might
undertake the proper burial and memorialisation of deceased members.

Description: This series contains records relating to Hull Branch of the Council of Christians
and Jews. In October 1942 a National Council of Christians and Jews was formed by Chief
Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz and Archbishop of York and then Cantebury William Temple. Its aims
were to counter religious and racial intolerance in Britain, to promote understanding and
goodwill between Christians and Jews throughout society, to encourage fellowship between
Christian and Jewish youth groups in education and cultural activities, and to promote cooperation directed towards post-war reconstruction efforts following WWII. Regional branches
soon followed and a Hull Council was established on the 27 March 1949. An international
Council was eventually formed in 1974, although discussion of the need for an international
Council had initially taken place in 1946.

Hull Hebrew Board of Guardians
1912-2010
Description: This series contains records of Hull Hebrew Board of Guardians, registered
charity number 227049. The Board was a governing body established in 1880 to co-ordinate
and oversee charity efforts on behalf of the Jewish poor, sick and elderly in Hull. It worked in
much the same way as the English Boards of Guardians established by local authorities to
oversee poor relief in the localities. The Hull Hebrew Board of Guardians was officially
registered by the Board of Deputies' Charities Registration Committee at a meeting on 2 Feb
1953. By the late 20th century much of the Board’s work focused on the provision of care to
the elderly through the maintainence of a care home and many of its original functions were
no longer relevant. A a major reorganisation took place in 1996-1997 under which the Board
retained its charity status and registered charity number and continued its existence as Hull
Jewish Community Care.
From this point the Board's work focused on the maintenance and management of a
residence providing care for the Jewish elderly. This residence was established by the Baord
in 1954 and has been known variously as the Hull Jewish Flatlets, the Jewish Aged Home,
and Menorah House. The home was managed by the The Flatlets/Aged Homes Management
Committee, under the auspices of the Board of Guardians. The running costs of the home
were funded by members contributions and by appeals to various charitable trusts. Major
planning for re-building and modernisation work was initiated in 1995 and appeals to various
charitable organisations for donations to fund the work were made in 1995 and then again in
1997. At this time a Building and Maintenance Committee was established with Conrad
Segelman as Chairman, and with other committee members including V. Appleson, A.
Collins, E. Pearlman, S. Pearlman, H. Rose, J. Rose, L. Simmons, G. Silver, S. Burnley, and
Mrs A. Segelman. Due to dwindling numbers and financial troubles the home closed in 2012
and the work of the Board in this respect was wound up.

Hull Jewish Association for the
Protection of Girls and Women
1910-1914
Description: This series contains records of the Hull Committee of the Jewish Association
for the Protection of Girls and Women (JAPGW). The Association had its roots in the work of
the 'Jewish Ladies' Society for Preventive and Rescue Work', established in 1885 by Lady
Constance Battersea, daughter of Sir Anthony de Rothschild. The Ladies' Society sought to
provide aid and protection to immigrant Jewish girls and young women arriving in London
where many arrived alone and vulnerable to trafficking. In 1889 a gentleman's committee was
formed under the Chairmanship of Claude Goldsmid Montefiore, cousin to Lady Battersea, to
supervise anti-trafficking work at the ports and docks of London, and it is this Committee that
formed the basis for the development of the JAPGW over the following decade. The Hull
Committee of the JAPGW was formed at the end of 1912 as a Sub-Committee of the Hull
Hebrew Board of Guardians. The Hull Committee consisted of B.S. Jacobs, Esq., Chairman,
Alderman H. Feldman, J.P., Vice-Chairman, I. Harris, Esq., Treasurer, M.V. Gosschalk, Esq.,
Honorary Secretary and Honorary Solicitor, and Mr. W. Schultz, 2 St. James' Square, Hull,
Investigating and Dock Officer.

Hull Jewish Watchman Editorial Board
1953-2010
Description: This series contains records relating to the publication of 'The Watchman',
formerly published as 'The Westerner', a newsletter serving the Hull Jewish Community and
begun by Rabbi E.S. Rabinowitz. As minister of Hull Western Synagogue Rabbi E.S.
Rabinowitz issued the first number of 'The Westerner' on Friday 27 Mar 1953 to provide
information and news updates to members of Hull Western Synagogue Congregation.
Following the appointment of Rabbi E.S. Rabinowitz as Communal Rabbi serving Hull
Western Synagogue, Hull Old Hebrew Congregation, and Hull Central Synagogue, the
newsletter became intended to provide information to the whole of the Jewish Community,
and from 10 Aug 1956 it was issued every Friday under the title 'The Watchman'. It went
through two editions, the first covering the period 10 Aug 1956-27 Mar 1959, and the second
covering the period 10 Apr 1959-present. New layouts were introduced with issues Second
Edition No.1, with Second Edition No.234, and with Second Edition No.951. The production
of 'The Watchman' was overseen by an Editorial Board under the auspices of the Hull Jewish
Representative Council, and battled serious financial troubles to maintain publication.

was set up at this time.

Hull Trades Advisory Council
1944-1956
Description: This series contains records of the Hull Area Trades Advisory Council, whose
inaugural meeting was held at the Beth Hamedrash of the Old Hebrew Congregation on
Sunday 16 Jan 1944, with M.V. Gosschalke in the chair, and with Maurice Orbach as general
secretary of the Trades Advisory Council, S.M. Jacobson as Trades Advisory Council
Northern Area Organiser, Myer Wolff as Chairman of the Hull Jewish Co-ordinating

trade disputes. Accounts of individual branches appear to have been audited by the main
Council in London.

Hull Old Hebrew Congregation
1852-1994
Description: This series contains records of Hull Hebrew Congregation, later Hull Old
Hebrew Congregation, formed in 1826 with the building of a Synagogue in Robinson Row to
house the re-united congregation of two formerly rival synagogues. The first foundation
stones of Robinson Row were laid by Solomon Meyer (of the former Posterngate
Synagogue) and by Israel Jacobs (of the former Parade Row Synagogue) on 27 February
1826. The Robinson Row Synagogue opened 18 June 1827, and was rebuilt and reconsecrated on 26 September 1852. In 1902 the Congregation removed to premises in
Osborne Street and the new Synagogue was officially opened on 10 September 1903. The
Osborne Street Synagogue was enlarged in 1932, before being severely damaged during a
German air raid in 1941. Repairs were undertaken at length and the synagogue reopened in
1955. The Congregation continued to worship at Osborne Street in accordance with the
Ashkenazi Orthodox ritual until 1993. At this time the premises were sold following the
amalgamation in March 1992 of the Hull Western Synagogue and the Hull Old Hebrew
Congregation to form the currently active Hull Hebrew Congregation.

Hull Western Synagogue
1902-1993
Description: This series contains records of the Hull Western Synagogue congregation. The
congregation was formed in 1902 when a number of leading families from the Hull Hebrew
Congregation at Robinson Row broke away and established a Synagogue at 19 Linnaeus
Street, the foundation of which was laid by Mr O.E. D'Avigdor Goldsmid in September 1902.
The Linnaeus Street Synagogue was consecrated by Chief Rabbi Rev Dr Adler in May 1903,
and the congregation of the Hull Western Synagogue continued to worship at this premises in
accordance to the Ashkenazi Orthodox ritual until the amalgamation of the congregation with
the Hull Old Hebrew Congregation in May 1992. The new united Hull Hebrew Congregation
continued to worship at the Hull Western Synagogue until 1994 when new premises at Pryme
Street, Anlaby, became ready for use and the synagogue building at Linnaeus Street was
sold.

Hull Central Synagogue
1888-1962
Description: This series contains the records of Hull Central Hebrew Congregation, more
often referred to as Hull Central Synagogue. The congregation was initially established in
1886 at Waltham Street aka School Street to accommodate the expanding Jewish population
resulting from Russian immigration. In 1914 the congregation moved from its initial location in
Waltham Street to new premises in Cogan Street where it remained until the Cogan Street
Synagogue building was destroyed during an air raid in 1940. A large house in West Parade
was used for worship 1940-1951, and from 1951 the congregation worshipped at synagogue
premises in Park Street. After a prolonged period of decreasing membership Hull Central
Synagogue closed in 1976. At this time most members of the former Central congregation
joined Hull Western Synagogue, though a number became members of Hull Old Hebrew
Congregation.

Hull Hebrew Congregation
1990-2012
Description: This series contains the records of Hull Hebrew Congregation, the current
active Jewish Orthodox congregation based at Pryme Street Synagogue. The congregation
was officially formed on 31 May 1992 when members of the Hull Western Synagogue at
Linnaeus Street and Hull Old Hebrew Congregation at Osborne Street agreed a constitution
for the new united congregation. This was the result of long decades of negotiations
regarding the possibility of a united synagogue, and was driven by a decreasing Jewish
population in Hull and the need for more suitable accommodation for worship. In 1991 an 'Ad
Hoc Planning and Collaboration Committee' was established to co-ordinate the work
necessary to achieve the establishment of the new congregation. The committee operated
under the leadership of Richard Bermitz, Philip Daniels, and Max Gold, and aided by Cyril
Rosenston, Barry Donn, Anthony Rowland, Edward Pearlman, and Conrad Segalman. Subcommittees for Finance under the leadership of Anthony Rowland and Edward Pearlman,
and for drafting a new Constitution under the leadership of Conrad Segalman and Max Gold
were also formed. The committee undertook the work of commissioning and preparing
proposals and options relating to housing the new congregation, to establishing its charity
status, and to drafting a constitution to govern the management of the congregation once
established. The work of the committee came to fruition on 2 April 1995 when the newly built
Pryme Street Synagogue, Anlaby, was consecrated by the Chief Rabbi. An opening and
consecration ceremony was held and Rabbi Shalom Osdoba was inducted as the
community's first Rabbi. He remained in post until June 2011 when the position of full time
Rabbi was abolished due to the declining financial situation of the Congregation and falling
membership numbers.

Hull Reform Synagogue
1970-2011
Description: This series contains limited records relating to Hull Reform Synagogue, also
known as Ne've Shalom, donated by various members of the Jewish Community in Hull.
Please note that the official records of the Hull Reform Synagogue remain with the officers of
the congregation.
Significant interest in Reform Judaism existed in Hull from the early 1960s when a number of
individuals travelled to the Leeds Reform Synagogue for services. In 1966 five families, the
Bermitzes, Levys, Rosenbergs, Barnetts and Gordons, met to form a committee to establish
a Reform Synagogue in Hull. In 1968 Anlaby House was used to hold the first Reform
Congregation Service in Hull, and in 1971 the Hull Reform Congregation became a
constituted Synagogue. In 1981 the Synagogue was granted full membership of the Reform
Synagogues of Great Britain when membership numbers passed 40. As membership slowly
increased in the 1980s Anlaby Methodist Church Hall, followed by Cottingham Civic Hall
were used to hold services. In 1991, Henry Goldstone purchased a site and a Synagogue
was built at Great Gutter Lane, Willerby. The first formal service was held on 18 February
1992 led by Ian Sugarman, and the consecration ceremony took place on Sunday 26 April
1992 led by Rabbi Rodney Mariner, Chairman of the RSGB Assembly of Rabbis, Rabbi
Walter Rothschild and Rabbi Danny Rich.
