We currently have two Rabbis working for our Synagogue, both of whom have grown up with our community.
Rabbi Lisa Barrett 
Brought up in Manchester’s Reform community, Rabbi Lisa Barrett made aliyah to Israel in 1995, where she taught English to Jewish, Muslim and Christian students at the Tabeetha School in Jaffa for five years. On her return to England, a qualification as a complementary therapist enabled her to work with cancer patients and bereaved carers at St.Anne’s Hospice. She then studied for three years at Boston’s Hebrew College, followed by two years at Leo Baeck College and after ordination in 2011 she taught Jewish studies at JCoSS, was Rabbi at Synagogues in Middlesex, Glasgow, Stevenage and Hendon.
Rabbi Warren Elf 
Rabbi Elf, has been involved with Manchester Reform Synagogue and other synagogues in the Region and further afield. He played a pivotal role as a faith leader in Greater Manchester and in developing strong links between people of different backgrounds, ethnicities and faiths.

He received an MBE for services to the community from Prince William in 2019.
