District rabbinate Oberdorf am Ipf

The district rabbinate of Oberdorf am Ipf was established in Oberdorf am Ipf 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. Oberdorf am Ipf became the seat of a rabbinical district, as there was a large Jewish community there, which in 1846 had 548 members. The rabbinate was dissolved in 1931. 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.
