and Jewish Community

Pontypridd, Rhondda-Cynon-Taf, South Wales

JCR-UK is a genealogical and historical website covering all Jewish communities and
congregations throughout the British Isles and Gibraltar, both past and present.

Town of Pontypridd

Pontypridd, with a population of about 32,000, is a town situated on the river Taff at the junction with the river Rhondda in South Wales. It is situated about 21 miles north-west of Cardiff.

Pontypridd formed the urban district of Pontypridd in the then county of Glamorganshire. From 1974 until 1996, it was part of the district of Taff-Ely in the new county of Mid Glamorgan. Since 1996, it has formed part of the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf - a unitary authority (within the ceremonial, or preserved, county of Mid Glamorgan)

The Pontypridd Jewish Community

The Jewish community dates back to at least the 1840s and the first Jewish congregation to the 1860s (see Some Thoughts on the Rhondda Valley Communities by Harold Pollins). It continued into the 1970s. The Jewish community was one of very few in South Wales that had its own cemetery.

Congregation Data

Name:

Pontypridd Hebrew Congregation

also known as Pontypridd Synagogue

In 1884, for the centenary of Sir Moses Montefiore, it was resolved to name the then synagogue 'Ohel Moshe'.⁽ⁱⁱⁱ⁾

Formation:

The congregation was initially formed in 1867^(iv) but by 1879 had dwindled to only three families and no longer held regular services - in order to obtain a minyan for the high holy days, additional worshippers were procured from neighbouring communities.^(v) However, numbers seemed to gradually increase and in about 1888 the congregation was reconstituted.^(vi)

Address:

Cliff Terrace, Wood Road, Treforest, Pontypridd CF37 1RF^(ix)
The foundation stone was laid on 9 May 1895^(x) and the synagogue, designed by a local architect, a James Lloyd of Wood Road, was consecrated on 16 October 1895 by the Chief Rabbi.^(xi) The building cost approximately £1,000 and could accommodate 200 worshippers.^(xi)

Previously, from July 1867, the congregation met in a building in Treforest, Pontypridd, in a school room converted into synagogue.^(xii) It was described as "a small insufficient room" and was sold in 1895 for £100.^(xiii)

Closure:

By 1962, services were held only on the high holy days and for specially arranged services.^(xvi) By 1973, the congregation was reported as defunct,^(xvii) although occasional evening services still appear to be taking place.^(xviii) However, it was not until 1978 that the synagogue was sold and the congregation disbanded.^(xix) The building became private apartments, but is still known locally as "The Synagogue".

Ritual:

Ashkenazi Orthodox

Affiliation:

The congregation was an unaffiliated congregation under the aegis of the Chief Rabbi.

(xlvii) and (xlviii) Reserved.
(xlix) Although Rev. M. Schwartz was listed as minister of the congregation in Jewish Year Books 1926 and 1927, his successor was already in office by 1926, and, assuming continuity of identity, he had also taken up his next post by 1926. His appointment presumably was in 1924 or 1925, in response to a Jewish Chronicle advertisement of 1 March 1924, and by 2 July 1926 there was already an advertisement for a replacement. ↵
(l) Rev. Chaitowitz's appointment as minister in 1926 is confirmed by The Jewish Chronicle report of 15 October 1926, although he was listed as minister of the congregation in Jewish Year Books only from 1928 through 1936. ↵
(li) Rev. Morris was listed as minister of the congregation in Jewish Year Books 1937 through 1945/6. The Jewish Chronicle of 14 September 1945, reporting his move to Margate, stated that he had served the Pontyprid congregation for nine years. ↵

(liii) to (lv) Reserved.
(lvi) Where a person was first listed in a Jewish Year Book as holding a particular office, it has been assumed that his term of office commenced in the year of publication of the relevant year book and that he continued in office until the commencement of office of his successor, unless the office was shown as vacant. Initially year books corresponded to the Hebrew year, and thus ran roughly from autumn of one year - the year of publication - until autumn of the next year. From 1909, year books were published according to the Gregorian year, being published generally towards the end of the year prior to the year appearing in the title of the year book. For example, if an officer is listed in Jewish Year Books 1909 through 1914, it is assumed that he commenced office in 1908 and continued in office until 1914. However, it should be noted that this is only an assumption and, accordingly, his actual years of office may differ somewhat from those shown here. Jewish Year Books were not published during World War II subsequent to 1940. There were no Jewish Year Book listings of officers (other than secretary) subsequent to 1956. ↵
