The Liverpool Hebrew Educational Institution commenced in 1841. For the first few years the number of pupils did not exceed thirty. Thenceforth the rapid increase in enrollment necessitated the erection of a building in Hope Place to accomodate 350 pupils, boys and girls. The ceremony laying the foundation stone was graced by Chief Rabbi Adler. See JE, Vol. VIII, p. 142.
