Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Middleton Road, Higher Crumpsall, North Manchester, England, in the United Kingdom. The congregation was founded in 1935 and worships in the Ashkenazi rite.[1]

The synagogue building was completed in 1967.

History

The Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation was founded in 1935 on Cheetham Hill Road. It moved to its current location in Crumpsall in 1967. By 1999, it had a membership of 550;[1] and in 2010 the congregation had between 500 and 749 members.[2]

The congregation is housed in a 1967 red brick postwar building on Middleton Road, Crumpsall.[3] The building has been described, unadmiringly, as having a "central block with projecting wings" and "a disproportionately large glass entrance wall."[4] The building is one of three Manchester area synagogues modelled on the 1934 building of Manchester's Holy Law Synagogue with its tripartite facade in a "pleasing International style." The other two are the Manchester Reform Synagogue Jackson's Row, and the Prestwich Hebrew Congregation.[5]

On 22 April 2000 and again on 15 September 2002 antisemitic remarks were shouted at the synagogue.[6][7] Synagogue security cameras captured a murder on film in 2008, when violinist Michael Kahan was stabbed to death outside a Kosher bakery near the synagogue building by a mentally ill assailant.[8][9]

Clergy

Reverend Leslie Olsberg MBE led the congregation for 35 years until he retired and his death, both in 2008.[10][11][12] Rabbi Daniel Walker has served the congregation since 2008.[13]
