The Haham David Meldola Copy. David Meldola (1797-1853), a noted Talmudist and Hebrew poet, succeeded his father Raphael Meldola as Haham of the Sephardi Community of London. He was one of the founders of the Jewish Chronicle and a fierce opponent of the Reform Movement. See EJ, Vol. XI, col. 1290; J. Picciotto, Sketches of Anglo-Jewish History (1956), p. 487, n. 14
