A Manchester synagogue is still to explain what it has done with a historic Sefer Torah that was loaned to it nearly 50 years ago.
The Czech Scrolls Memorial Trust contacted Bury Hebrew Congregation last summer to ask for its return.
But, although the synagogue said it would try to find out what had happened to the scroll, the trust’s chairman Evelyn Friedlander remained none the wiser this week.
“I don’t know where the scroll is,” she said. “Either it has been buried, as they suggested it may have been. Or, if it has not, where is it? I don’t feel they are doing enough.”
