There was no religious school in Weimar. For the first time, and only temporarily, a rabbi was employed in 1839/40 to teach the children the Jewish faith: Dr. Avraham Hirsh Levisohn, tutor to the Elkan family. It was not until the turn of the century that there were renewed activities to establish regular Jewish religious education. The Israelite Religious Association, founded in 1903, was dedicated to this purpose. From 1909 to 1913 there was a religious school with 10 children, later still small group instruction.

The statutes of the Jewish Religious Association state that the aim of the association is the preparation of the High Holidays and the implementation of religious education for children. The first chairman was the merchant Rudolf Sachs, from 1911 he was followed by the merchant Salomon (Sally) Kauffmann, after his death by the merchant Israel Berlowitz. The association was a member of the German-Israelite Community Federation. In 1925 every fourth of the 105 inhabitants belonged to it. Proposals to build a synagogue were put aside before 1914.
