Purim starts at 7.00pm this Wednesday 16th March and all day Thursday -  see below for times of services. As we have done in previous years, we will be collecting money for poor people in Manchester to be given out on the day of Purim.

You can either give the money to Rabbi Eisenberg directly in Shule or, alternatively, you can donate online at the following page: https://www.charityextra.com/purimfund/56544. Please donate generously to help local families.
