Chanukah Musical Evening in the Shul
Reception Room with milky supper, and entertainment by popular guitarist
and singer Dr David Freed
Aubrey Taylor
visits 770 Eastern Parkway, headquarters of the Lubavitch
movement and where the late Lubavitcher Rebbe held office.
Aubrey Taylor
writes:
I was recently in New York, when our local Yeshiva Boys,
Levi and Shmuely (home for Rosh Hashanah) arranged to
take me to the Ohel, where the Lubavitcher Rebbe and his
late father-in-law are laid to rest. The visit was a
most spiritual and moving experience which entailed
carrying out customs appropriate to the occasion. The
explanation of the customs can be found on Google 'Ohel
Lubavitch'.
My next visit was to 770 Eastern Parkway, headquarters
of the Lubavitch movement, where the late Rebbe held
office. On arriving there, Mendy Singer, our Rabbi's
youngest Son who is studying in New York, met us and
organised a comprehensive tour of the facilities. The
headquarters is thronged with Rabbis, students and
visitors at all times of day and night. In one vast shul,
hundreds of students were learning, a Rabbi was giving a
'drosha' in Yiddish and there were at least 20 minyonim
for mincha. We davened and I was then introduced to
Rabbi Kline, one of the late Rebbes secretaries, who
knows many Manchester Rabbis and families, as a result
of their visits to the Rebbe.
The tour included various rooms used by the Rebbe, a
library and small Museum displaying many of his personal
siddurim etc. in which he made notes for discussion.
Also on display his Chair, Lectern, photos and other
artefacts.
After a tiring few hours the 'Boys' and I went to nearby
Kingston Avenue (the main Jewish commercial area) for a
meal in Mendy's Restaurant (not owned by Mendy Singer
!!!) which I can recommend to future visitors.

Our Shul
Bury Hebrew Congregation is an Orthodox synagogue
serving the Jewish community in the Sunnybank, Unsworth and
Hollins area of North
Manchester.
As with other cities, the original
immigrant community in
Manchester gradually moved outward geographically and
upward economically from its roots in the inner city,
establishing itself in the leafy suburbs of Prestwich,
Crumpsall and Broughton Park. The
Bury community is a result of a second generation
migration of young families in the mid 1960's who sought
pastures new away from these established and traditional
areas. |
|
|
At that time Sunnybank was very much a green field
site, recently developed on land adjacent to
the A56 Manchester
Road, much of which had, at one time, been farm
or grazing land.
For a more detailed account of the
Shul's past,
please visit our history page.
The shul building was
officially opened by the then
Chief Rabbi Jacobovitz, in
November 1976, and is the focal
point of a community of over 350 families,
providing a
centre for daily religious observance, functions, simchas,
clubs, educational and youth groups.
|
|
|
Visitors to the shul often comment on its friendly
and welcoming atmosphere. If you are visiting from out of
town, why not come to our Shabbos
or weekday services?
The shul is located on the A56
Manchester Road corner with Sunnybank Road - directions can
be found by clicking by

1998 saw the opening of our
new Beis Hamedresh which serves for
weekday minyonim, small functions
and the Seed programme.
The new extension was opened 30th Nissan 5758 (26th
April 1998) by Dayan Krausz and dedicated by Mr and Mrs Brian
Rose in memory of their son, David, who died tragically of
Tay Sachs. |

The Schleifer Hall is available for functions of
up to 200 people catered from our own kitchen. Book your
next simcha with us. It is popular for special
Shabbat Kiddushim,
Simchas Torah, Purim and Chanukah parties as well as Ladies
Guild functions. It is also used extensively by the various
youth and social groups which meet regularly in the shul.

|
|
On September 10th 2000
the
Shul dedicated
a Sefer Torah in memory of its late revered warden, Sol
Weinstock. After completing the Sefer at Bury and Whitefield
Jewish primary school, a procession escorted the Sefer
along Sunnybank Road to
the Shul where it was installed with much joy and celebration.
See our Sefer Torah page.
