Description
In 1639, the three congregations of Amsterdam's Jewish community united. They chose the name "K. K. Talmud Torah" for the merged congregation, a name borrowed from the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish community of Venice. However, this time marked an end of the period of Venetian influence on the Amsterdam community. Discusses the history of the Venetian influence.
