Description
-
In 1953, the Portsmouth Evening News reported that income from the Alderman Leon Emanuel (Poor Jews) Trust was soon to be distributed in sums of £10 or more to “deserving Poor Jews (male or female) resident within the City for at least five years.”
-
This notice reflects a strong sense of community support and charitable provision within Portsmouth’s Jewish community.
The newspaper also encouraged eligible readers to apply using forms available from the City Council Chambers, while noting that individuals convicted of drunkenness were not eligible to benefit from the charity.
