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 clicking here.

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.

We hope you enjoy your visit to our website. Please visit again soon.
