JEWISH EAST END OF LONDON PHOTO GALLERY & COMMENTARY

London's East End Synagogues, cemeteries and more......

My personal journey through the Jewish East End of London

The Jewish Communal Restaurant, 214 Whitechapel Road, London E1

214 Whitechapel Road today - formerly the Jewish Communal Restaurant, advertised below

The family of the late Max Stander kindly sent me a copy of the flyer below, dating from the mid 1930s, telling of their relative's efforts to set up a kosher restaurant providing free meals for the Jewish poor of Whitechapel.  I have not heard of this institution and would be grateful for any information readers may be able to add.  There are some well known names on the list of patrons: Barnet Janner MP, President of the Board of Deputies; Miriam Moses, Mayor of Stepney, a founder of the Brady Club and founder of the Jewish branch of the Children's Country Holiday Fund; Dr M Gaster, Chief Rabbi of the UK's Sephardi Community.  They also sent me a flyer of a proposed London Jewish People's Home, 98 Whitechapel Road, London E1, complete with a scan of the reverse with Hebrew cursive script on it.  All information gratefully received.
 
Thanks, Phil
