With a letter of July 29, 1874 to the Israelite religious community, 32 members of the congregation asked to hold their own services in the prayer room of the community center according to the traditional rite. However, this was refused, as it was feared that the unity of the congregation would be dissolved. Thus, the first services (since New Year - Rosh Hashanah - 1874) were held in a rented hall.
