The tight-knit, diverse community in the British city of Manchester had already seen rising antisemitism and tensions in the wake of the Gaza war. Now residents fear the place they call home may be forever scarred by a shocking synagogue attack that left two dead.
As night fell on Thursday, Orthodox Jewish worshippers emerged from packed synagogues in the city after a day of prayers and fasting to learn about the attack which took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
