Laws of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews' Orphan Society… of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews' Congregation. London, 1885. Regulations of the company "Shaare Ora and Avi Yatomim" for orphans from the Spanish and Portuguese congregations in London.
The society was founded in 1703. The regulations deal with the joint inheritance of the association, division of roles and powers, the days of the meetings, an interesting chapter dealing with the women's committee of the association - this committee was composed of six women who were responsible for the management of the house and their role was to recommend to the managers any action required for the benefit of the orphans for their education (It is rare to find women in a managerial position during this period), regulations concerning the age of the children admitted to the institution (only children between the ages of seven and twelve were admitted, and they could stay in the institution until the age of 14 only if they behaved properly), the institution took out of its gates a child who was found to be sick with an infectious disease , the children's prayer was held in the Portuguese synagogue. In addition, there are sections dealing with the clothing and other physical and spiritual needs of the orphans. On the page after the cover there is a list of about 100 donors and subscribers. The last pages contain the text of the early deed signed in 1756 regarding the money used for the orphanage, by Moses Lamego.
