Since the Medieval era, at least nine different sites in Bristol have been used as synagogues or in place of a synagogue, most of them by the Bristol Hebrew Congregation, which was founded in 1756. Lazarus Jacobs, the father of Isaac Jacobs, who invented Bristol Blue Glass, bought the Congregation’s first official synagogue on Temple Street in 1786. They have been at the Park Row Synagogue since 1871.
