Leaflet recruiting members to the Cardiff Youth Association, Cardiff, 1950

Disgrifiadau

A leaflet written by Marcel Golten, a Chairman, and addressed to the members of the Cardiff New Synagogue, inviting them to join the Cardiff New Synagogue Youth Association. It includes the details of the meetings and the joining information.

The Cardiff Reform Synagogue was founded in 1948 as the Cardiff New Synagogue. The following year, it became a constituent member of the Movement for Reform Judaism. Born in reaction against the more restrictive traditions of the Orthodox Judaism of Cardiff Hebrew Congregation, such as the prohibition of driving on the Sabbath and the ban on interfaith marriages, the new Synagogue appealed to the immigrants who had fled the war-torn Europe, where the Reform movement was already well-established. The congregation worships in a converted Methodist Chapel on Moira Terrace they acquired in 1952.
