Detailed
Description		    Revised Code of Laws for the government of the Manchester Old Hebrew Congregation. Adopted at a general meeting held on May 17, 1914. Manchester, city in northern England, whose Jewish community, the second largest in Britain, dates from about 1780. The first synagogue being founded by two brothers, Lemon and Jacob Nathan, formerly of Liverpool. A cemetery was acquired in 1794 and the first local charity was the Manchester Jewish Philanthropic Society (1804) which provided winter relief for poor resident Jews. After a temporary schism in the congregation in 1840, a more serious split followed during the rabbinate of S. Schiller-Szinessy and led to the establishment of a Reform synagogue in 1856. Two years later, the original community moved to its new synagogue ("the Great") on Cheetham Hill still in use in the 1970s.
