Synagogue hand-dial clock depicting the times of the beginning of the afternoon prayer services of the Holidays and Shabbat. In the past they would post this clock at the front or entrance of the synagogue on the eve of Shabbat and holidays, sometimes even throughout the week, to notify and to let the congregation prepare for when the start of the services would begin. Reverse side is in- scripted in faded letters "Shabbat Arriving at" for the time when the community would refrain from weekly activities and preparation to welcome the Shabbat and holidays.
Condition: a bit chipped near the top and the two clock hands of the reverse side are missing otherwise in great overall condition
