History

The Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation was formally founded in 1935. By 1999, it had a membership of 550.[1] Reverend Leslie Olsberg retired from his position in 2008, aged 86, after 35 years' service.[4] The congregation is housed in a 1967 red brick postwar building on Middleton Road, Crumpsall.[8] Architectural historian Carol Herselle Krinsky describes it, unadmiringly, as having a "central block with projecting wings" and "a disproportionately large glass entrance wall."[9] According to architectural historian Sharman Kadish, 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.[10]

On 22 April 2000 and again on 15 September 2002 antisemitic remarks were shouted at the synagogue.[11][12] 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.[13][14]
