The Laws and Charities of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews' Congregation of London, by Neville Laski

- Abstract

Anglo-Jewry will celebrate the tercentenary of its resettlement in England this year, just about the time when American Jewry will be closing its tricentennial celebration. The Jews were expelled from England in 1290, and Jewish resettlement did not begin officially until around 1655, following negotiations carried out between Menasseh ben Israel and the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell.
