District rabbinate Jebenhausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jebenhausen district rabbinate was founded in Jebenhausen in Württemberg in 1832 and was one of 13 district rabbinates , which were also known as district synagogues. The district rabbinate was moved to Göppingen after 1868 .

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. Jebenhausen became the seat of a rabbinical district, as there was a large Jewish community there, which had 539 members in 1839 (total population 1154). The district rabbinates were subordinate to the upper church authority , which was also created in 1832 .

tasks

The tasks included the execution of the sovereign ordinances, the proclamation and the 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.
