Palestine Place
Palestine Place was founded in 1809 as the centre of operations of the London Society for promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. According to the text at the bottom of this print, it consisted of a chapel, a school for Hebrew boys and girls, a Jewish Converts’ institution and a Hebrew College for Jewish missionaries. The Society targeted poor Jewish children. The Jews’ Free School opened in 1817 partly to counter the Society’s attempt to convert Jewish children to Christianity.
