The Singers Hill Synagogue, officially the Birmingham Hebrew Congregation, is an OrthodoxJewish congregation and synagogue, located at 26, 26A and 26B Blucher Street, in the Birmingham city centre, in the West Midlands of England, in the United Kingdom. The congregation dates from 1780 and worshiped in the Ashkenazirite.
The forebears of the congregation commenced in 1780 when the community's first synagogue was completed in an area at the time known as The Froggery. The congregation subsequently moved to a synagogue in Hurst Street in 1791; and the Severn Street Synagogue, which survives as a masonic hall, was completed in 1809; and remodelled in 1827, following a fire.[1] The fourth and current synagogue building was completed in 1856, designed by Yeoville Thomason.[3]
The stained glass windows were commissioned from Hardman Studios in 1956-1963, in a process overseen by the former chairman of the Synagogue's council, Joseph Cohen.[6][7]
