Liverpool Jewish Community
Some of the famous Liverpudlian Jewish people are:
· Brian Epstein, manager of the 60s legends the Beatles.
· David Lewis Levy, who started department store Lewis' in the mid 19th century.
· Prof Sir Henry Cohen, from a poor immigrant family, who became one of the Queen's doctors.
A Number of Firsts:
The first sermon to be delivered in English in a synagogue took place in Liverpool in the early 19th century.
The first provincial representative to the Board of Deputies of British Jews was elected by Seel Street Synagogue in 1839.
The first Hebrew Day School (now King David Primary School) outside London set up in 1841.

Galkoff`s Kosher Butcher`s 1907-2007 has been listed by EH
I hear the wonderful Galkoff`s Kosher Butcher`s shop in Pembroke Place, Liverpool 3 has finally been listed by English Heritage after resusing to do so twice. A well deserved pat on the back to the young man who has been struggling for nearly 20 years to preserve and protect the property....and he is apparently not even Jewish. These Liverpudilians don`t give up do they.
