Keeping Bradford's doors open to its Jewish Heritage
Although he was born in Berlin, Rudi Leavor is a Yorkshireman at heart and that’s where we’re going today. Rudi is the 93-year-old custodian and president of Bradford Reform Synagogue, which has been in the news quite a bit in recent years, partly because of the Muslim leader who sits on the shul's board. I met Rudi in the synagogue to find out more about the shul and Bradford's Jewish history.
Two other Bradfordians, Hanneke Dye and Stefan Simmonds... spoke to Nigel Grizzard about shul life, growing up in the Bradford community, and the Hostel that was home to child refugees from the Kinder Transport.
We have more information about the Bradford community on the JSCN website just go to https://jscn.org.uk/small-communities/bradford-reform-synagogue/ there you will find a number of videos which talk a lot more about the history of Bradford and its Jewish community, including a complete film about the hostel which housed those Kindertransport children.
