Pinkas. Communaute Israelite de la Stricte Observance. Adass Yereim Chevrah Kadisha d'Shas. Rue Cadet (Paris).
Alphabetized manuscript ledger written in Hebrew and French on paper, in various hands. ff. 27 (excluding blanks). Pages for men, women and children. Lightly worn and stained. Original wrappers. Folio.
Paris: 1906-08.
The Communaute Israelite de la Stricte Observance (CISO) also known as the Synagogue Rue Cadet, or Congregation Adas Yereim (as of 1905), was a non-Consistorial Orthodox community of Ashkenazic rite, founded in 1892 by Jews stemming from Germany and the Alsace. The synagogue was located in Paris's 9th arrondissement, an area that from the the mid-19th century increasingly became a Jewish hub as Jews from Eastern Europe migrated to Paris. The Synagogue closed in 2014.
The list of officers in the Congregation's Burial Society listed in the present ledger includes Rabbi Moise Weiskopf and Vice President Hippolyte Prague. In 1895, Rabbi Weiskopf opened a home for religious instruction in which Prague (1806-1935) gave courses in Talmud. Prague, a grandson of Rabbi Mendel Prague, a member of the Grand Sanhedrin, was editor-in-chief of the Archives Israélites, Zionist and leading opponent of Reform Judaism. Also listed here is Samuel Munk, father of Rabbi Elie Munk, who served as rabbi of the congregation from 1937-73.
