The Belfast Hebrew Congregation is the Jewish community in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The community follows the Ashkenazi Orthodox ritual. Membership has fluctuated from 78 in 1900, approximately 1500 during World War II, about 375 after World War II, and 200 in 1999.〔(JCR-UK ) 350 in 1945, 380 in 1949.〕 The congregation was fewer than 80 people .〔 ==History== Established in 1870, first two "ministers" (rabbis) were Reverend Joseph Chotzner (serving from 1870 to 1880 and 1892 to 1897) and Rev. Jacob Myers.〔''Jewish Encyclopedia'' (corrected by descendant)〕 Having immigrated in 1851, M. A. Jaffe (father of Otto Jaffe) was instrumental in founding the synagogue. Later, the position was filled by Rabbi Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog (1916–1919), who later become Chief Rabbi of Ireland and Israel, and Rabbi Jacob Shachter (translator of Zvi Hirsch Chajes), 1926-1954. Elizabeth Jane Caulfield, the Countess of Charlemont, regularly attended the synagogue and apparently converted to Judaism there.〔''Jewish Encyclopedia'', citing: ''The Athenaeum'', p.733, London, 1882; ''The Guardian'', xxxvii. 801, London; ''The Jewish Chronicle'', 2 June 1882; ''The Times'', 1 June 1882, London.〕 Otto Jaffe, Lord Mayor of Belfast, was life-president of the Belfast Hebrew Congregation, which worshipped at the Great Victoria Street synagogue.
