Jewish Communities of Romania: Statutes of the Community of Israelites of Spanish Rite [Sephardic] of Timișoara
Description:
This folder contains statutes (a copy of the original) of the Sephardic community of Timișoara. Like other statutes, the contents generally regulate community life including membership, dues, elections, staff responsibilities, and so forth. Unique to these Sephardic statutes however, as opposed to the statutes of other communities, are the exclusatory clauses regarding membership (only Sephardic Jews or those married to Sepharic Jews may be members) and the strict tone absolutely forbidding the introduction of any changes whatsoever to the Sephardic rites and customs.
