London Board of Jewish Religious Education, Second Report, 1950-1951, 5710-5711, London 1951.

I previously wrote about the First Report of the London Board of Jewish Religious Education, which had come about following a Jewish Education Conference in London in November 1945.  In 1950 there had been progress in the training of teachers and a series of lectures intended for teachers given by Chief Rabbi Israel Brodie, Dayan Grunfeld, Rabbi Dr. Isidore Epstein and Dr. Joseph Heller.

The number of children on the roll, including Synagogue Hebrew classes, Talmud Torahs and Withdrawal Classes had grown: 9,752 in 1949, 10,397 in 1950 and 10,539 in 1951.

The report includes detailed statistics for each Synagogue and school.

For comparison, I have also previous written about the Eleventh Report of the London Board of Jewish Religious Education (1960).
