Irish Jewish Museum |

The Irish Jewish Museum, 3-4 Walworth Road (off Victoria Street), South Circular Road, Dublin 8.
The museum is located in the once highly Jewish populated area of Portobello around the South Circular Road.
The former Walworth Road Synagogue, which could accommodate approximately 150/160 men and women consisted of two adjoining terraced houses. Due to the movement of the Jewish people from the area to the suburbs of Dublin commencing in the early 1950's and with the overall decline in their numbers, the Synagogue fell into disuse and ceased to function in the mid 1970's. The premises remained locked for almost ten years and was brought back to life again with the establishment of the Irish Jewish Museum in late 1984.
The Museum was opened by the Irish born former President of Israel Dr. Chaim Herzog on 20th June 1985 during his State visit to Ireland. It is managed by a committee of dedicated people, varying in numbers from 20 - 30 who voluntarily give of their time.
The Museum preserves an important, though small part of Ireland's cultural and historic heritage. |

While there is an abundance of written material on James Joyce and his writings and many people visit Dublin to follow in the footsteps of Leopold Bloom of Ulysses, nevertheless a visit to the Museum enables the Joycean follower to obtain an insight into the cultural, economic, religious and social life of the Jew in Ireland during the early 1900's. On display are photographs of some of the Jewish characters mentioned in Ulysses as well as many religious and other Jewish three dimensional objects mentioned in this work. One showcase contains a wide selection of items referred to in the various episodes which have a Jewish or Irish connection. |

"Little Jerusalem" |
|
According to R. Horan in Educational Jewish Aspects of James Joyce's "Ulysses" (Dublin: The Irish Jewish Museum, 1992), the first known record of Jews living in Dublin dated to the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, probably Jews displaced followoing the explosions from the Iberian Peninsula. The earliest known synagogue dates back to 1660 and was situated in Crane Lane. Further evidence of an early date is the fact that Ballybough Cemetery in Fairview, just North of Dublin, was in use from the early eighteenth century onwards. The Napoleonic Wars brought a further influx of Jews to Dublin, records of the births and deaths were kept by a Rev. J. Sandheim, minister of Stafford Street and Mary's Abbey synagogues (1820-1879).
It was in the late nineteenth century that a new wave of immigrants reached Ireland, many of whom were fleeing the anti-Semitism which was encapsulated by the May Laws in Russia from 1881. These people came from Lithuania, Latvia, Russia and Poland, among others. They settled over Ireland, but the largest community settled in the South Circular Road area of Dublin, where a sizeable population sprang up. It was this area that the synagogues and Jewish business came into being, the area was known, affectionately, to non-Jews as "Little Jerusalem" (Educational Jewish Aspects of James Joyce's "Ulysses, " p.4).
The Jewish District Dublin in the early twentieth century included Lower & Upper Clanbrassil Street, Blackpitts, St. Kevin's Parade, Lombard Street E, Emorville Avenue, St. Kevin's Street and Lennox Street. |

Gogarty Pub |
|
Oliver St. John Gogarty, 58/59 Fleet Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2, is now called Gogarty's was first established by Philip Lawlor in 1835, but after Lawlor's death, Henry B. Kavanagh bought this pub in 1850s and he also began to run the first family hotel in Fleet Street before long. However, both the pub and the hotel had vanished by the 1890's. Next, Matthew Brady, and then the Walsh Brothers bought this pub and ran it until the late teens when the Ryan Brothers, who also traded at 79 Thomas Street and 149 Francis Street, arrived here. Pat Ryan was still here in 1922 when Gogarty's idol Michael Collins was shot at Beal na Blath. The blood stained latch key of Gogarty's house at Ely Place, where Collins had sheltered many times during the War of Independence, was found on Collins' limp body. On receiving it back, Gogarty called it a symbol of Ireland's shame. Gogarty was a close friend to W. B. Yeats, and one time friend (odd partner) of James Joyce. |

St. Mary's Abbey |
|
[U 10.0408 & 0929 & U 17.0757] St. Mary's Abbey was founded in 1139 as a daughter house of the Benedictine Order of Savigny but became Cistercian in 1147. It was, until its suppression in the 16th century, one of the largest and most important monasteries in Ireland. Once the wealthiest Cistercian Abbey in Ireland, today it is unrecognizable. Two rooms remain - the Chapter House and the Slype. The Abbey played a large role in the affairs of the state until its dissolution by Henry VIII in 1539. It was the Chapter House that 'Silken' Thomas Fitzgerald started his unsuccessful rebellion in 1534.
In 1793 the Bank of Ireland first opened it premises in Mary's Abbey. The right Hon. David la Touche was the first chairman. These premises were abandoned in favor of the disused parliament house in College Green.
The bank building was sold to the Jewish community for 300 pounds in 1836 as a synagogue "to cater for Dublin's 16 Jewish families" (Mary's Abbey Synagogue; cf. U17.0756-57). The Jews remained there until 1892.
