This booklet deals with the orderly conduct of Anglo-Jewry’s Aschkenazic synagogues under the auspices of the Chief Rabbinate. Included are exact times of prayers, the correct order of the prayers themselves and the bounds of propriety, e.g. "marriages to be solemnized in the Synagogue, where, with the exception of the ladies who conduct the bride under the canopy (Unterführer), all the ladies shall take their seats in the ladies' gallery" (p. 19)
