List of rabbis of the Jewish community of Worms

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rabbis of the Jewish community of Worms often had several places to be active in the community : The "Old Synagogue" (oldest building inscription: 1034), the Yeshiva , the private Claus Synagogue of the Sinsheimer family, the Levy Synagogue (since 1875 ) and some other "prayer rooms" of liturgical minorities, especially in the 19th century. Except for the Claus Synagogue, none of these places of worship had their own rabbi.
