Les Juifs de Manchester

The Jewish community of Manchester developed especially from the 19th century, with the massive arrival of Ashkenazi immigrants from Eastern Europe, and numbered among the most important in Great Britain outside London. Active in the textile industry and commerce, it equipped itself with a dense network of synagogues, schools and social, religious and charitable institutions. Manchester was also an important center of the British Zionist movement, notably associated with Chaim Weizmann, who taught chemistry there. The community remains today one of the most vibrant in the United Kingdom, with a notable Orthodox presence.
