For 150 years The United Synagogue has marked key events with services of thanksgiving, intercession, and celebration. This book opens a window into the community which has never been seen in its entirety before. The US, established by an Act of Parliament, is the bedrock of the Anglo Jewish community. Orders of service contain prayers said in synagogues to commemorate someone or something: a memorial, opening a building, or a royal occasion. In this ground-breaking book you will find a selection of rare Judaica, the order of service marking the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, the coronation of King George VI, or the end of World War II. These orders of service are grouped by theme: Monarchy, Chief Rabbis, Lifecycle, Religious Life, Persecution and War, and Israel and Zionism. In the book you can see letters to Montefiore concerning prayers of thanksgiving following the attempted assassination of Queen Victoria, Chief Rabbi Hertz standing in the bombed ruins of the Great Synagogue, and the kosher china used on Cunard liners. As a reference volume or just to read and reflect on 150 years of the United Synagogue and its unique position in British society, this is a very special book.
