Jewish Religious Education Board
The Board was founded to provide instruction in Hebrew and religion for Jewish children attending public elementary schools in London. It also provided classes for children attending senior schools and was involved in the maintenance of Sabbath classes. During the Second World War its activities were merged with those of the Joint Emergency Committee for Jewish Religious Education.
