"In Görlitz there was a Jewish religious school, whose school rules obliged every child in the community to attend classes (boys after the age of 7 and girls after the age of 8). The main focus of the Jewish education was: Religion, Bible studies, Jewish history, prayer and Hebrew (writing and grammar). In the school year 1888/1889 there were 76 students learning at the Jewish school, in 1889/1890 65, in the year 1890/1891 53 and in 1892/1893 48 students were registered."
