Synagogue in South Manchester, founded in 1872.  Situated in the leafy village of Bowdon, its location is close to Altrincham, Hale Village and Manchester Airport.

After a long successful history in the Fallowfield district of Manchester with charismatic leaders such as Rabbi Felix Carlebach and Chazan Solomon Morris, the congregation moved in 2002 to state-of-the-art new premises in Bowdon under the leadership of Rabbi Yitzchok Rubin and Chazan Michael Isdale. We have the unique distinction of being the only Synagogue in the United Kingdom to have been opened by royalty, with an official visit by HRH Prince of Wales in April 2003.

In January 2011 following on from the retirement of Rabbi Rubin the synagogue appointed Rabbi Dovid Lewis as its new Rabbi, and he together with his wife Nachi and children Chaya and Tsivia moved into the community in June to take up their roles..

Together with Associate Rabbi Dan Lieberman and his wife Liat Lieberman the community is able to provide Rabbinic leadership encompassing all age ranges

The congregation is known as a warm and welcoming one for many decades, and this tradition has continued in its new home where it has welcomed many new members.

The congregation has a growing number of young families and their children enliven our services.

We look forward to welcoming new members of all ages to our beautiful new building.

2012 sees the 140^th Anniversary of the Community and activities are being planned to commemorate this milestone.
