Abstract
This listing is the third prepared by the Community Research Unit of the Board of Deputies
following compilations for 1977 and 1983. The figures presented relate to mid-1990. To
the best of our knowledge all congregations in the United Kingdom are included: we would
be pleased to be told of any unwittingly omitted. In order to compare data across
synagogue groupings and between areas, our analytical base (which is described fully
in the Appendix) is such that data presented here for individual synagogues may differ
from membership figures published by synagogal bodies. This is particularly the case
where synagogues count husbands and wives as two individual members: we have
considered them as one household membership.
