Manchester Jewish Museum

Coming Soon

Join us for a special creative writing workshop, inspired by our ancestors and the strength and guidance they can offer us. Led by theatre maker and educator Jessica Litwak, we will use guided meditation and a series of writing exercises to explore the potential of our imagination and creativity.

“Matriarch” by Jessica Litwak

Shemie is on the brink of giving up on life, but everything changes when she’s visited by the prophetess Miriam. At its heart, this puppet play is about healing through the wisdom and love of those who came before us.

DISCOVER & CELEBRATE

Join us as we celebrate our 150th anniversary with an exciting programme of events, sharing Sephardi stories from Manchester and beyond.

OURS AND YOURS

OUR GROUPS

We have a growing community of artists, song-writers, textile enthusiasts, local residents and cultural and community partners.

Our community groups are a great opportunity to meet other people to share stories and cultural traditions – and we are always looking for new members.

SCHOOLS & LEARNING

Our modern building includes a fully equipped Learning Studio & Kitchen as well as an educational gallery. The fully restored 150 year old (former) synagogue provides the perfect hands-on environment for schools wishing to learn more about Jewish culture.

We are offering two half day workshops: Synagogue & Stories and Holidays & Challah. These can also be booked together as one full day, giving your students the full Manchester Jewish Museum experience, through film making, baking and exploration activities!
