Obsah:
  • The foundation stones are now for sale: 1728-1805
  • So paltry a way of support: 1805-1865
  • Mushroom synagogues, free synagogues, and the Hazan craze: 1865-1919
  • No aristocracy and no snobocracy: in God's house all must be equal: 1919- 1945
  • If it has to be done, it should at least be done in a dignified way: 1945-Today
  • Conclusion: today-tomorrow.
