Poster for the Ner Tamid Jewish Youth Club's trip to Techniquest, Cardiff, 24 March 1996

Description

A poster giving notice of the Cardiff Reform Synagogue's Ner Tamid Jewish Youth Club's trip to the Techniquest Centre. The poster includes the meeting point, ticket price and date of the event.

The Cardiff Reform Synagogue was founded in 1948 as the Cardiff New Synagogue. The following year, it became a constituent member of the Movement for Reform Judaism. Born in reaction against the more restrictive traditions of the Orthodox Judaism of Cardiff Hebrew Congregation, such as the prohibition of driving on the Sabbath and the ban on interfaith marriages, the new Synagogue appealed to the immigrants who had fled the war-torn Europe, where the Reform movement was already well-established. The congregation worships in a converted Methodist Chapel on Moira Terrace they acquired in 1952.
