Islamic Activities - Rabi Ul Awwal
Islamic Activities - Rabi ul Awwal Sunnah’s of the Prophet(pbuh) The last week of the term was the start of the Islamic Month Rabi ul Awwal. The month in which many believe the Prophet (sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam) was born and passed away. At MIHSG we try to highlight the importance of each Islamic month and its significance in Islamic history. During this week we put up posters highlighting different Sunnah’s of the Prophet (Saw) as well as the characteristics of the Prophet (Saw). Story of Maryam (AS) and Prophet Isa (AS) Every day before Asr Salah, pupils were presented with the story of Maryam (AS) and Prophet Isa (AS) so pupils could drive Islamic lessons and make comparisons to the Christian narrative they would hear about during this time. This was followed up by a whole school Jummah prayer on the last day of term with Br Jahengir (Imam from Khizra mosque) doing the khutbah on Maryam (AS) and Prophet Isa (AS). The Jummah prayer was beautifully led and benefitted by all. Sunnah Challenge As part of the last day of term activities pupils were presented with a presentation on the life of the Prophet (SAW) and the Sunnahs of the Prophet (Saw). Rabi ul Awwal is a month for Muslims to learn more about the Prophet (Saw)’s life and characteristics as well as completing Sunnah’s of the Prophet. Pupils were given a worksheet to carry out one act of Sunnah every day of the holidays and for parents to sign what they have done; and pupils will be presented with a prize.

Wednesday 28 April 2021 UNVEILING OF TURNER PRIZE WINNER’S NEW WORK EXPLORING THE LONG-LOST VOICES OF MANCHESTER’S JEWISH COMMUNITY Turner Prize-winning artist Laure Prouvost will unveil a major new work that will transform The Ladies' Gallery in the historic synagogue of the Manchester Jewish Museum. The long waited, weighted gathering, co-commissioned by Manchester International Festival and the newly renovated Manchester Jewish Museum, will premiere at MIF21 on 2 July 2021. The immersive installation will consist of a new film, shot inside the gallery and in the surrounding Cheetham Hill area, inspired by the museum’s history as a former Spanish and Portuguese synagogue. Laure Prouvost has explored the museum’s extensive collection to discover the stories behind past congregants of the synagogue, unearthing the long-lost voices of the women who once found comfort and community within its walls. Prouvost’s films are often accompanied by objects which evoke its themes and imagery. For this work, materials that have been created while working with the Museum’s resident Women’s Textiles Group will be incorporated within the installation alongside the new film, capturing the voices of modern women in the local community together with those of the women who once gathered in the synagogue’s Ladies' Gallery. The installation will feature as a major part of the reopening of the newly redeveloped Manchester Jewish Museum on 2 July, following a two-year £6 million Capital Development project, partly funded by a £2.89m National Heritage Lottery Fund grant. As well as the restoration of its 1874 Spanish and Portuguese synagogue, the new museum will include a new gallery, café, shop and learning studio, and kitchen where schools and community groups can develop a greater understanding of the Jewish way of life.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

Museums and Migration, 2009–17
MUSEUMS AND MIGRATION, 2009–17 A report exploring the case for a national migration museum, and a migration museums network Authors: Dr Cathy Ross and Emma Shapiro 1 CONTENTS PAGE 1. Introduction 3 2. Museums and migration, 2009–17 4 • Local, regional and city museums • Specialist museums • Museum practice • National museums • The wider heritage sector • Universities and schools 3. The future 15 • Is there a role for a national museum of migration? • Is there a role for a migration network among existing museums? 4. Summary and key findings 18 2 1. INTRODUCTION This report looks at the representation of migration in English museums since 2009. The report has been prompted by two questions: • Would a national museum of migration make a useful contribution to the museum sector? • Would a specialist network about migration make a useful contribution to the museum sector? This report follows on from an earlier report by Dr Mary Stevens, published by the IPPR in 2009,1 which concluded that migration was a subject of such fundamental importance to Britain’s national story that it merited a new museum ‘dedicated to telling the whole story’. Stevens saw Britain’s ‘collective failure to engage in an informed way with contemporary migration patterns’ as deriving from ‘our ignorance about this aspect of our history’. Moreover, Britain’s ‘carefully orchestrated amnesia’ about migration contrasted with the situation in other countries. In short, ‘our migration stories deserve a more prominent place in our national self-understanding and need to be more visible in our heritage institutions’. This report seeks to provide a short update of developments in UK museums and galleries since Stevens’ analysis.

The purpose of these organisations was, in part, to demonstrate that the influx of Eastern European Jewish immigrants was not a burden on Britain as a whole. In other words the aim was to show that Jews were prepared to care for their own people, financially and morally. Much has been written about the larger organisations but little, if anything, is recorded about some of the smaller societies which usually pursued a narrow and defined purpose.
