The Cardiff United Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Cardiff, Wales. ==History== A Jewish community existed in Cardiff by 1841, when the Marquess of Bute donated land at Highfield for a Jewish Cemetery. The congregation, which is the result of the merger of several historic congregations, traces its roots to the Old Hebrew Congregation, which erected a synagogue building on Trinity Street in 1853, and to the Bute Street synagogue of 1858.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.glamro.gov.uk/check/Building%20of%20a%20Capital%202/A_Worship.html )〕 Bute Street was the center of the Jewish community in the nineteenth century.〔Geoffrey Alderman, ''Modern British Jewry'' (Oxford: Oxford UP, 1998), p. 26.〕 Former locations and ancestral congregations in Cardiff include the following:〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.jewishgen.org/jcr-uk/Community/card/index.htm )〕 :Original (Old Hebrew) congregation, ::Trinity Street, Cardiff (1853–1858) ::East Terrace, Bute Street, Cardiff (1858–1897; redeveloped 1888) ::Cathedral Road, Cardiff (1897–1989) :New (Orthodox) congregation, ::Edwards Place, Cardiff (1889–1900) ::Merches Place, Cardiff (1900–?) :Windsor Place congregation, Windsor Place, Cardiff (1918–1955) :Penylan congregation, Ty Gwyn Road, Penylan (9 January 1955–2003) The most architecturally distinguished of the several historic synagogue buildings was the classical/eclectic synagogue in Windsor Place. One of the congregation's former buildings was purchased in 1979 and converted into a Hindu temple.〔Raymond Brady Williams, ''An Introduction to Swaminarayan Hinduism'' (Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2001), p. 222.〕 With the diminution of the Cardiff Jewish community and a drift away from the older neighborhoods, these congregations consolidated in the present, modern building in Cyncoed Gardens, dedicated by Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks in 2003.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cardiff United Synagogue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
