District rabbinate Karlsruhe

The Karlsruhe district rabbinate was established in Karlsruhe in Baden in 1827 and was one of 15 district rabbinates , also known as district synagogues. In 1885 the Karlsruhe district rabbinate was dissolved and its communities were assigned to the neighboring district rabbinates.

The district rabbinates were directly subordinate to the Upper Council of the Israelites of Baden . The chiefs were the district rabbi and the district elder. In matters of the rabbinical district, all local elders had to be heard once a year. The district rabbi presided.

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.
