Bradford Reform Synagogue
EDM number 1801 in 2008-09, proposed by Marsha Singh on 02/07/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Cultural heritage and Religion and faith communities.
That this House congratulates the Bradford Reform Synagogue on attainment of Grade II* listing; acknowledges the architectural merit of one of the few surviving synagogues in Europe built in the Moorish style; recalls that it was built by German immigrants in 1881 and is Yorkshire's oldest purpose-built synagogue; recognises the contribution made by its congregation to the life of Bradford during the past 130 years; and regrets that the local Jewish community no longer has the resources to maintain it and hopes that means may be found to keep it in use for future generations.
This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
