THE HEBREW COMMUNITY OF CHELTENHAM, GLOUCESTER AND STROUD by Brian Torode
This short study of the Cheltenham Hebrew Community was begun as a souvenir memento of the ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH anniversary of the opening of the Cheltenham Synagogue on 14th May 1839. From the very start of his research into the history of the local Jewish community in the last century, the author, who is not a Jew, realised what an important part of Cheltenham’s history had so far been ignored.

THE JEWS IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE: a presentation by Brian Torode
My initial interest began 1987 when I learned that the Synagogue was about to celebrate its 150th anniversary of consecration in 1989. I saw this as a wonderful opportunity to record Cheltenham’s nineteenth century Jewish history which up to that time had only been summarily researched.
