District rabbinate Freudental
The Freudental District Rabbinate was established in Freudental in Württemberg in 1832 and was one of 13 District Rabbinates , also known as District Synagogues.
By decree of the Ministry of the Interior of August 3, 1832, after the amalgamation or dissolution of various Jewish communities, the now 41 parishes were divided into 13 district rabbinates. Freudental became the seat of a rabbinical district, as the rabbi of the large Jewish community in Freudental had previously acted as an arbitration body for various surrounding Jewish communities. In 1851, out of a total of 868 inhabitants, 364 were Jewish in Freudental.
The district rabbinates were subordinate to the upper church authority , which was also created in 1832 . After the death of Rabbi Moses Haas, the position of District Rabbi in Freudental could no longer be filled and the District Rabbi in Stuttgart took over this task on a temporary basis until the District Rabbinate Freudental was dissolved on July 1, 1913. Its function was now taken over by the Stuttgart district rabbinate .
tasks
The tasks included the implementation of the sovereign ordinances, the promulgation and enforcement of the ordinances of the higher church authority, advice on school matters, the administration of foundations and the distribution of alms . To finance the district rabbinates, levies were paid by the individual Jewish communities.
