City of Cardiff

Cardiff (in Welsh - Caerdydd), a unitary authority, is the largest city and capital of Wales, with a population of about 300,000. From 1974 to 1996, it formed the district of Cardiff in the county of South Glamorgan and, prior thereto, it was a county borough in the old county of Glamorganshire. It lies on the northern coast of the Bristol Channel at the mouth of the river Taff.

The Cardiff Jewish Community

The date traditionally given for the first Jewish settlement in Cardiff is 1787. However, an organized community, with synagogue and Jewish burial grounds, was not fully established until approximately 1840 (Rise of Provincial Jewry, C. Roth).
