London 3rd June 1859
Dear Sir,
In answer to yours of 28th April, wherein you state having sent me a letter in October last containing certain questions, I beg to say that you are perfectly correct in your surmise as to the miscarriage of said letter as it did not reach me. I now therefore hasten to answer your questions to the best of my ability. [Hebrew] is not said on the second night of [Hebrew] but is on the second day [Hebrew] is not said at [Hebrew]--[Hebrew] is said on Friday at [Hebrew] but not on [Hebrew] or [Hebrew] when they happen on [Hebrew]--[Hebrew] is not said when [Hebrew] follows immediately [Hebrew]--the [Hebrew] is not left open at the services for [Hebrew] but is for all the services on [Hebrew] and is opened for the [Hebrew] at [Hebrew]--there is no fixed number of [Hebrew] taken out on the night of [Hebrew] there are at times Eleven, at other times more, as besides the [Hebrew] and [Hebrew] private individuals if they wish can take a [Hebrew] but on [Hebrew] there are only seven—the [Hebrew] does not read the [Hebrew] for the [Hebrew] at the [Hebrew]--on [Hebrew] [Hebrew] and [Hebrew] are read as usual, and on Friday at [Hebrew] the Psalm belonging to the respective festival of [Hebrew] or [Hebrew] are read and afterwards [Hebrew]--[Hebrew] is said on days when there is no [Hebrew]-- [Hebrew] is not given on Friday after 12 O'clock, or when the [Hebrew] return to Synagogue immediately
after the funeral [Hebrew] is not made on [Hebrew] neither is [Hebrew] said—the latter is read on all occasions by the [Hebrew] when the deceased left no relatives-- [Hebrew] is cut on the left hand side for Parents, and every garment is rent, even to the shirt—It is customary for other relatives, besides the children of deceased persons to say [Hebrew] but it is not an acknowledged right, consequently none but the children have [Hebrew] for [Hebrew] during the eleven months—the hind quarters are eaten in this city, after they have undergon [Hebrew] and the [Hebrew] does kill at the Poulterers on [Hebrew] for the use of the same day, but he does not kill for private persons—I have not a printed copy of the [Hebrew] of this Congregation, neither do I think there is such a book in existence. I regret such delay such have occurred, and will be most happy to serve you at any time, as far as my humble capacity will allow me
Mrs Piza unites with me in kindest regards to Mrs Morais, and thanks for the kind sentiments expressed towards Judah
I am
Your's very truly
