The '''Synod of Mainz''' was a major gathering of [[rabbi]]s, in the year 1233<ref name="JewEncTak">{{Jewish Encyclopedia|article=Takkanah|url=http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?letter=T&artid=23}}</ref>. Participants in the [[synod]] included [[Baruch ben Samuel]]<ref name="JewEncTak" />, [[David of Munzenberg|David of Münzenberg]]<ref name="JewEncTak" />, [[Eleazar ben Judah]]<ref name="JewEncEBJBKOF">{{Jewish Encyclopedia|article=ELEAZAR BEN JUDAH BEN KALONYMUS OF WORMS|url=http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=153&letter=E}}</ref>, [[Eliezer ben Joel HaLevi]]<ref name="JewEncTak" />, [[Hezekiah of Boppard]]<ref name="JewEncTak" />, and [[Simha of Speyer]]<ref name="JewEncTak" />. |

The {{lang-|he-Latn|Takanos Shum}} ({{lang-he|תקנות שו"ם}}), or '''Enactments of SH"M''' were a set of decrees formulated and agreed upon over a period of decades by the leaders of three of the central cities of Medieval Jewry: [[Speyer]], [[Worms, Germany|Worms]], and [[Mainz]]. The initials of the [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] names for these cities, {{lang|he-Latn|Shapira}}, {{lang|he-Latn|Vermiza}}, and {{lang|he-Latn|Magentza}} form the initials {{lang|he-Latn|Shum}}.

Its intended purpose had been to simply regulate the taxes and imposts to be paid to the [[German Emperor]]<ref name="JewEncTak" />, though it eventually enacted the body of [[halakha|Jewish religious regulations]] known as ''[[Takkanah|Takkanot]] ShWM''; ''ShWM'' is an initialism, standing for ''[[Speyer]], [[Worms, Germany|Worms]], and [[Mainz]]''<ref name="JewEncEBJBKOF" /><ref name="JewEncTak" />. The ''[[Takkanah|Takkanot]] ShWM'' included the following six rules: |
|||
* that no [[Jew]] should show bad faith toward a [[Christian]], nor be guilty of [[counterfeit]]ing<ref name="JewEncTak" />. |
|||
* that one who has caused harm by lodging information must make amends for it<ref name="JewEncTak" /> |
|||
* Jews attending the royal/imperial court are not to be exempt from the communal taxes<ref name="JewEncTak" /> |
|||
* synagogues must be places of quietness and devotion<ref name="JewEncTak" /> |
|||
* a man must perform his duty of [[levirate marriage]], without raising any objections, if it arises<ref name="JewEncTak" /> |
|||
* controversies must be resolved via the decisions of the rabbis of Mainz, Speyer, and Worms<ref name="JewEncTak" /> |
|||
At the time, the Jewish communities of Speyer, Worms, and Mainz, held the leadership of the entire Jewish community in Germany; consequently the synod had a considerable influence on the development of [[Ashkenazi Jews|Ashkenazi culture]] |

The Template:Lang- (Hebrew: תקנות שו"ם), or Enactments of SH"M were a set of decrees formulated and agreed upon over a period of decades by the leaders of three of the central cities of Medieval Jewry: Speyer, Worms, and Mainz. The initials of the Hebrew names for these cities, Shapira, Vermiza, and Magentza form the initials Shum. While these regulations were intended to address the problems of that time, had an effect on European Jewry that lasted centuries.[1]
