The “Jewish Chronicle” Year Book, Rev. Isidore Harris, London, 1911 – Metropolitan Schools and Classes.

The Jewish Year Book was acquired by the Jewish Chronicle in 1911, resulting in a slight change of name.  It was edited by Reverend Isidore Harris.  He was born in London in 1853 and was the Minister, appointed in 1881, at the West London Synagogue of British Jews. Previously, he was the  Minister of the North London Synagogue.

The book is packed with information about the Jewish community in the United Kingdom (then including Ireland) and the British Empire.  My copy is  stamped that it had previously belonged to the Jewish Colonization Association.

This extract has listings for schools and classes in London.  For a contemporary (1911) report of the Redmans Road Talmud Torah click here.
