  • Why are their only old people in the synagogue.

  • The Synagogue has now been converted in to a dance studio owned by myself and a dance partner. It seems strange to see what it looked like before but I feel happy to say that the synagogue is back in use for a new exciting purpose. Unfortunately there are plans for the council to knock this building down. We are currently in the process of trying to save this great building!

  • In fact Mr Morris is in the film at 0.59. Nice to see him again.

  • I visited the synagogue about 9 years ago with party of students from stoke on trent college and was shown around by nice guy called Mr Morris. The synagogue closed because the city always had a small jewish congreagtion and most of them have either passed on or moved to places with bigger jewish communities like manchester or birmingham. Very sad to see it closed, as a (non-jewish)native of the city it's been part of my local heritage since I was a kid,

    Sholem.

  • It is fom the Evening Service, the first blessing after the recital of the Shema.

    It describes the People of Israel crossing the Red Sea (Exodus 14-15).

  • kol yeudium metefflim loelohim bbet knesset

  • Can anyone tell me what prayer he's chanting in Hebrew? Is it from the Torah?

    Thanks

    Tony

  • According to the BBC website they have had to move as

    "The Birch Terrace synagogue in Hanley is now too big for the community it serves, so a smaller replacement is being built in Newcastle."
