| Description | Letters to Gaster from the Manchester Congregation of Spanish and Portuguese Jews. One letter, sent from the Conjoint Board of Elders of the Manchester Congregation of Spanish and Portuguese Jews in 1918, expresses concern about Gaster's proposed retirement and hopes that this drastic step can be averted. One letter congratulates Gaster on his 70th birthday. One letter invites Gaster to preach in the synagogue during his forthcoming visit to Manchester, and informs him that Sir Ronald Storrs will also be visiting the synagogue on that day. Includes a report from April 1939 on the occasion of the Annual Meeting, the first item of which informs the community of Gaster's death. |
