Foundation Chief Executive Michael Mail travelled to Birmingham to visit the stunning Grade II* Singers Hill synagogue in the city’s centre.
The synagogue was built in 1856 at a time when Birmingham was being transformed into an industrial powerhouse. The Jewish community played its own role in the story of the growth of Birmingham, and synagogue members included prominent figures in the city’s development.
Michael was hosted by Rabbi Yossi Jacobs – a fellow Glaswegian! He also met members of the wider synagogue team, both volunteers and professionals, who help manage the site including the thousands of visitors, especially school groups, who visit each year.
Michael presented the work of the Foundation ensuring that historic synagogues in danger are preserved. Rabbi Jacobs explained how the site is being currently maintained, and the impressive array of activities that are arranged for the synagogue’s members, demonstrating the ongoing vibrancy of the community.
The Foundation was delighted to visit this real gem of a synagogue in the heart of the Midlands of Britain.
That's a lovely piece on Singers Hill – it's always heartening to read about historic buildings being kept alive rather than just preserved as dusty relics. The fact that they're welcoming thousands of school groups each year really shows how a space like this can stay relevant to a new generation. Speaking of keeping things engaging and interactive, I've been having a bit of fun with the daily trivia game krillion lately – it's a nice way to test what you know in a quick, low-pressure format, much like how these heritage visits make history feel accessible. Anyway, it's great to see the Foundation highlighting these Midlands gems!
Me llamó la atención la información sobre Magis TV App, especialmente porque muchas personas utilizan sus teléfonos para entretenimiento. Antes de instalar una aplicación, considero importante revisar los requisitos, permisos y compatibilidad. También conviene asegurarse de que la fuente de descarga sea confiable.
I really enjoy playing Run 3 because the gameplay feels simple at first but becomes very challenging later. Running through space tunnels while avoiding gaps keeps every level exciting and fun. It’s one of the best browser games for fans of endless running adventures!
