Constitution and By-Laws of the Hebrew Education Society of Philadelphia: Adopted June 4, 1848

Pamphlet containing the Constitution and By-Laws of the Hebrew Education Society of Philadelphia. Adopted at a town meeting of Israelites on Sunday, Sivan 3, 5608 (June 4, 1848). Printed in Philadelphia by Sherman in 5608 (1848). The pamphlet, 12 pages long, was originally issued with paper covers. It includes a tipped-in page with "alterations to the Constitution on June 15, 1857," which were never formally published. The cover bears the signatures of J.M. Emanuel (1857) and A. Fonzi (1868). This is considered a unique document due to the inclusion of the unpublished 1857 alterations. The Hebrew Education Society aimed to establish schools providing religious instruction and teaching Hebrew and English to Philadelphia's Jewish community. In 1928, it merged with Gratz College.
