Description		    Order of ceremonies and liturgies for the dedication of a new synagogue and talmud torah in Arnhem, capital of Gelderland (Guelders) province, Holland. By 1235 there were Jews living in Arnhem. At the time of the Black Death (1348–49), the Jews turned for help to the Duke of Gelderland, who, however, interned them and canceled the debts owed to the Jews by himself and the inhabitants of the city. Apparently the whole community was destroyed. A century later, following the ecclesiastical synod of Bamberg in 1451, the Jews were obliged to wear a distinguishing badge on their garments, but at the same time the leading members of the town council expressly forbade harming the Jews. In the 16th century, while the Netherlands were under Spanish rule, the Jews were expelled from the whole area of Gelderland owing to the policy of Charles V. With the establishment of a republic in Holland the possibilities for Jewish settlement increased, but still in the year 1693 rights of citizenship were denied to Jews. Only in the 18th century did a more liberal policy prevail and Jews were granted certain civil rights (1737). The first synagogue was established in 1769 by the Cohen family, tobacco dealers from Amersfoort, who also founded a tobacco factory in Arnhem. With the reestablishment of independent Holland (1815), Arnhem was declared the capital of the province of Gelderland, and the community developed further. In 1809 the Jewish population of Arnhem was 165, in 1849 - 580. A new synagogue was built in 1853. In 1881 it became the seat of the Gelderland chief rabbinate in place of Nymegen.
