The Montefiore Synagogue is the former private synagogue of Sir Moses Montefiore. It is an 1833, Grade II * listed building in Ramsgate, Kent, England. ==History== The synagogue was in the European tradition of great men having private chapels on their estates. Sir Moses Montefiore had the synagogue built immediately upon purchasing the seaside East Cliff estate at Ramsgate and building a country house. On the day the building was dedicated, Montefiore fulfilled the Jewish custom of marking such an occasion by giving charity to the poor by giving money to be distributed by the priests of the two neighbouring Church of England parishes.〔Krinsky, 1985, page 127〕 The house has been demolished. The synagogue remains in use by the Sephardic community.〔 In 2007 a general medical practice opened on the grounds of the former estate. The developer contributed funds to preserve the woodlands next to the historic synagogue. 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「Montefiore Synagogue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
