Bradlaw was active in the Dublin Jewish community and was affectionately nicknamed "the prince of the immigrants". He established a
synagogue at 7 St. Kevin's Parade in 1883 and a new
chevra kadisha and cemetery at
Dolphin's Barn in 1898, replacing the
Ballybough Cemetery.
The Jewish Chronicle reported that Bradlaw formed the synagogue to break away from the
Dublin Hebrew Congregation which had reportedly denied him membership. He obtained donations of £300 to fund the chevra. Bradlaw participated in the foundation ceremony for the opening of Adelaide Road Synagogue in 1892. ==Family==
