THE THIRD ACT
Scene: A street. At the right the entrance to the synagogue, with steps and a portico. At the left the house of Aaron, before which are some chairs, in the shade of an awning. Some trees and shrubs give a grateful contrast to the surroundings of Sachel's house, seen in Act I.
The final chant of a Jewish service is heard within the synagogue. Enter Rebecca, flushed from her interview with Rafael, as the chant ends, and among others, Aaron comes out of the synagogue.
