Order of Service: Consecration of the Synagogue of the United Congregation of Israelites, Kingston, Jamaica

This 16-page octavo pamphlet contains the order of service for the consecration of the Synagogue of the United Congregation of Israelites in Kingston, Jamaica, on July 19, 1888 (19 Tammuz 5648). The service was conducted by Reverend Solomon Jacobs, the congregation's minister. The text is presented bilingually in Hebrew and English on facing pages. The pamphlet commemorates the completion of a new synagogue building, replacing one that had previously burned down. The United Congregation of Israelites resulted from a merger of Kingston's Sephardic and Ashkenazic congregations.
