About 170 paper items, documents, letters and proclamations issued by Hagra Synagogue "Mea Shearim Tel-Aviv", HaYarkon Street 42,
Tel-Aviv. 1930's-60's.
Hagra Synagogue was established in 1934 by Rabbi Yosef Zvi Halevy, son in law of Rabbi Naftali Hertz Halevy, Rabbi of Jaffa, on a plot donated and partly financed by the municipality, and this was the first Lithuanian synagogue in Tel-Aviv. All customs in this synagogue were Hagra's customs [the Vilna Gaon], and during its prime years two hundred people permanently prayed there. The collection includes: Invitation-card for electing a Gabai; letters from rabbis and charity-institutes in Jerusalem; "contract" form for a seat in the synagogue. Handwritten and printed notices on the synagogue's stationery; proclamations of warning and invitations to events; introducing a Torah, lectures, proclamation "prohibition of wearing sandals on Yom Kipur"; receipts-booklets and various tickets; large poster "Tefila LeMoshe", and more. Some of the items appear in several copies.
