" Keep thy foot when thou goest to the House of God,
and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of
fools, for they consider not that they do evil.'" Ecclesiastes
iv. 17.
The precepts of our holy religion teach us to love and
to fear God, whose miraculous providence we daily ex-
perience, whose wonders and goodness are at all times,
evening, morning, and noon, exercised over us ; to worship
him in full congregation, to conduct ourselves piously, to
keep his commandments religiously, to love our neighbours
as ourselves. n " ^ tnpi TpttJ *) ttnniO " Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself; Leviticus xix. 18., and to
do unto others as we would they should do unto us.
King Solomon "PI"}? exhorts us in the above text to be
very attentive and devout, when we go to the House of
Prayer, the House of God ; for he, in his mercy, prefers
the prayers devoutly offered unto him, to " the sacrifices
VI
of fools, who, when they have sinned, bring offerings," and
do not consider that " they do evil ;" that is, they imagine
that if they commit a sin, the sin offering alone atones for
it ; but not so, it is the contrite spirit that is required to
accompany it, and the offering is but an emblem of that
which the man would do, in his substituting the life of the
animal for his own.
And although it is recorded in Scripture
T3 "
" In ALL PLACES where I shall cause my name to be men-
tioned I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. Exodus
xx. 24 ; and in Proverbs we find
"j n"D teo j iMi&i o'jn nisi* *"* *w oipa S?3
" The eyes of the Lord are in EVERY place, beholding the
evil and the good." Proverbs xv. 3. It must be readily
admitted, that the Supreme Being has ever made choice of
some . peculiar spot where his glory should rest, and where
his Divine presence should be the more directed : When
the children of Israel journeyed in the wilderness, the Ta-
bernacle was erected by the holy order of God, and thus
was Palestine the peculiar land selected and preferred to
other countries, as we find :
' ** nnn : njtf nnn^ nyi n^'n
T T -: - * ; T T - .....
A land which the Lord thy God careth for : the eyes
N* ion e
Vll
of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning
of the year even unto the end of the year."
Jerusalem the holy city was the more preferred, the
Temple was built therein, and in the Temple itself was
there a spot set apart, the most holy place, wherein the
JPG (High Priest) entered on that most solemn day,
DV (the Day of Atonement) ; and so do we justly and
reasonably infer is the case with Prayer, that a fiD^H JVS
(Synagogue) as specially dedicated to the Almighty, for
the purpose of his Divine Worship, is the most acceptable
locality ; and there in conjunction with a number of our
brethren (p&), it is the more probable that we may
arouse ourselves with expressive feelings of devotion, thus
it is incumbent on us to provide for, and support our places
of devotion, which have been established for so sacred a
purpose by our forefathers, and wherein when we enter we
see inscribed before us
jn
" Know before whom thou standest, before the Supreme
King of kings, the holy One, blessed is he."
Consider then, O mortal man, that when thou art pray-
ing, thou art addressing the Great Omnipotent and Om-
niscient Being, who created and formed thee, who sup-
ports and guides thee, upon whose providence the whole
universe is dependent. Reflect, that he is infinite and om-
nipresent, that he sees and observes not only your most
secret actions, but knows your most inward thoughts.
Vlll
If, therefore, thine adoration is offered to him in a proper
and becoming manner, in a strain of true piety, thy prayers
will be the means of effecting thy salvation. If, on the
contrary, they be delivered in a careless, thoughtless manner,
the consequence may be the very reverse, and those very
prayers, be the cause of thy condemnation.
Consider attentively that the most essential part of our
religion, is to pay homage to the author of our existence,
by whom we breathe, live, and enjoy every good ; it is
therefore proper, that thou shouldst offer unto him a pure
heart : invest thyself with true devotion, and dedicate thy-
self unto his service. Divest thyself of all worldly thoughts,
and trust to the goodness of Divine Providence for a favor-
able answer.
And may the words of the prophet Zephaniah be
speedily realized in our days.

" For then I will turn to the nations one pure speech,
that they shall all call in the name of the Lord together,
and shall worship him with one consent." Zephaniah iii. 9.

INTRODUCTION.
CONCORD, which is the foundation of social happiness, is
only to be preserved by the adoption of such regulations
as are conducive to the general welfare.
Laws are therefore necessary for the establishment of
good order; and that the same may be preserved, it is
necessary that we implicitly observe such Laws framed for
the support and benefit of the Congregation.
The inefficiency of Laws to regulate our Congregation
has been long felt by those who have had the management
of its affairs ; for although all those laid down for religious
observances are clearly deduced from sacred sources, yet
the government of Assemblies for the worship of God,
requires certain rules and orders to be followed, in order
that the eccentricity of individuals may not disturb the
general harmony. Besides the regulations requisite for
the procurance of funds to defray the current expenditure
of the establishment, and charitable dispensations to the
poor always attached thereto ; as it must be evident that
an establishment of this description requires funds to effect
its purposes; and the Managers have the satisfaction to
Xll
declare that the Congregation has met with very liberal
supporters, and the poor with many generous friends.
Several sums have been settled in the funds, and their
produce confided to the management of the Committee for
specific charitable purposes, to be annually distributed in
Coals, Great Coats, &c. and the names of E. P. Salomons,
Esq. (who bequeathed the Synagogue to this Congregation),
Abraham Salomons, Esq., and Solomon Abrahams, Esq.,
must on this account be particularly noticed. While the
enumeration of the rest of the general benefactors to the
Congregation is in this place impossible, their names are
justly inscribed in golden letters on the tablets in the
Synagogue. Prayers are read for the repose of their souls
at the specially appointed times, and their deeds are
without doubt registered in Heaven.
jvjrn s ws n&K fun 1 ? V?TI :
And may the words of our mouths and the meditations of
our hearts be acceptable in thy presence, O Lord, who art
our Rock and Redeemer.
Attempts have, however, at various times been made to
supply this want of efficient Laws and Regulations, but
from a variety of causes they have uniformly failed of
being completed.
At a Meeting held on the ISthShevat, (24th January,) A. M.
5602, Samuel Cohen, Esq. 03*13 President in the chair,
The Meeting was informed that it was highly requisite
Xlll
to revise the Laws of this Congregation, and to form a New
Code of Laws from the Old Code, with such additions and
revisions as might be thought proper, and that the same
be submitted for adoption at a General Meeting ; it was
accordingly
Resolved, "That in consequence of the great deficiency
in the Laws of this Congregation, the existing Sub-
Committee be requested to complete the revision of
the same."
The following Gentlemen had been previously appointed
to the Sub-Committee for the aforesaid purpose :
Messrs. SOLOMON COHEN. ABRAHAM LEVY.
JOSEPH PHILLIPS. ARON SOLOMON.
ALEX. ISAAC. BARENT SALOMONS.
JONAS LEVY. and
HYAM HYAMS. M. S. KEYSER.
The Committee have very assiduously attended to the task
confided to them. A considerable number of Meetings were
held at the house of Aron Solomon, Esq. ttHS President,
in Tamuz, (June and July,) A. M. 5604 : the Code of Laws
proposed by the Sub-Committee in A.M. 5598, were revised
and amended, and several new Laws introduced. This
Code was afterwards copied and classified by M. S. Keyser,
Esq. and was subsequently submitted to the whole of the
XIV
Sub-Committee ; and after having undergone serious deli-
beration, and receiving some amendments and alterations,
the Code thus finally revised was approved of, and the
Sub-Committee made the following Report to a General
Meeting held on the 6th Kislev, (17th Nov.,) A.M. 5605 :
" The Sub-Committee appointed by the General Meeting
held on the 13th Shevat, (24th January,) 5602, to complete the
revision of the Laws, with such additions as had been made
by various General Meetings up to the present time, beg to
submit the result of their labours to this General Meeting.
" Your Sub-Committee feel great pleasure in expressing
their gratitude and respect to M. S. Keyser, Esq. one of the
Committee, for the ability with which he has arranged and
written in classified order, the Code of Laws now pre-
sented, and which they earnestly recommend for adoption,
as being very essential for the welfare and interest of this
Congregation.

In accordance with the then existing Laws, the New Code
was submitted to several General Meetings, and was at
length, on the 1 3th Kislev, (24th November,) 5605, passed and
XV
adopted for the future government of the Congregation ;
and
Messrs. A RON SOLOMON,
HYAM HYAMS, and
M. S. KEYSER,
were then appointed to direct and superintend the printing
of the same.
