Singing lesson, Jews' Free School, Stepney, London, 1908. Boys and girls arranged in a semi-circle in the hall, around a teacher sitting on a stool and conducting their performance. The Jews' Free School opened as a Talmud Torah at the Great Synagogue in 1732. Originally a charity school for fifteen poor orphan boys it grew to become the largest Jewish School in Britain. Between 1880 and 1890 one third of all Anglo-Jewish children were educated there. The school is now called the JFS Comprehensive.
