Mikrah Chevra(Plotzker Synagogue)London E.1. |
Congregation Data
| Name: | Mikrah Chevra |
| Alternative Name: | Plotzker Synagogue (in 1870) |
| Addresses: | Fashion Street, London E1 (in 1887), Widegate Street, London E1 (in 1870) (Both the above are mentioned in V. D. Lipman's "Social History of the Jews in England 1850-1950" and it is assumed that they refer to the same congregation.) |
| Local Authority: | London Borough of Tower Hamlets |
| Foundation: | By 1870. |
| Affiliation: | The Mikrah Synagogue, Fashion Street, is among
the 21 or 22 synagogues listed by V. D. Lipman in his "Social History of the Jews in England
1850-1950" (pp120-121) as the founding members of the
Federation of Synagogues on 6 November 1887. (A meeting had been held on 16 October 1887 to form the Federation, and the Mikrah Chevra or Plotzker Synagogue is not listed by Geoffrey Alderman in his history of "The Federation of Synagogues 1887-1987" as one of the 16 synagogues that attended the meeting, although there was a congregation named as the Fashion Court Chevra founded in 1858.) The Jewish Year Book 1896-1897, includes a Mikvah Synagogue at New Court. (New Court appears to be in Fashion Street) among the members of the Federation. It is presumed that this is a separate congregation and not a typographical error. |

| Ritual: | Orthodox - Ashkenazi |
