Custodial history:
The Talmud Torah School was a school for the teaching of elementary education in Hebrew, the Scriptures and the Talmud and in the principles of the Jewish faith and practise.
Talmud Torah schools were traditionally for boys only. Girls were admitted in modern times.
The School was founded in 1880 and established in purpose built premises at No. 11 Bent Street, Cheetham, Manchester.
The School was administered by the Central Board and was supported by subscription and donation. Pupils were charged nominal fees.
In 1946 the Talmud Torah merged with the Jewish Eduction Board and Councillor Abraham Moss became the first chairman. Two years later Emmanuel Raffles was elected chairman, a position he was to hold until his retirement in 1964.
In 1958 the Bent Street school was sold and in 1959 the new headquarters of the Manchester Central Board for Hebrew Education and Talmud Torah was opened in Upper Park Road, Salford.
In 1989 the Manchester Central Board established the North Manchester Jewish Teenage Centre (NMJTC) to provide Jewish education for girls aged over twelve and boys aged over thirteen.
The original school building has been demolished but for the main range, including foundation stones and inscriptions.
The current address is 24A, Bury New Road, Prestwich, Manchester, M25 0LD (closed in 2005).
