This book is a church directory for New York City, published in 1867. Pages 50-51 contain a listing of the 28 synagogues operating in New York City at that time. The directory provides valuable insight into the early development of Jewish communities in New York City, highlighting the growth of congregations, many stemming from Landsmannschaften (immigrant societies). The included historical context explains the significance of these congregations and their role within the evolving social landscape of the city's Jewish population.
