Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Manchester

The first Jewish residents of Manchester arrived in about 1860, a Jewish wedding is documented in the local newspaper the Manchester Union in 1893, by this time a permanent synagogue had been built B'nai Jeshurun on Elm Street. Land for a cemetery was purchased in 1896, by this time there were two congregations. Other synagogues appeared as the new century was reached including Adath Yeshurun on Main St. This was the last major synagogue of the period as the town suffered financial difficulties which were also reflected in the Jewish community. By the late 1990s two main congregations remained Temple Adath Yeshurun (Reform) and Temple Israel, once Anshe Sefard (Conservative). In the last few years a Chabad synagogue has appeared in the area at present it is raising money to build a permanent synagogue.
