Clouds Of Glory
The images on show are a small selection from the project 'Clouds of Glory' which focuses on the Orthodox Jewish community of Prestwich and Whitefield, in Manchester (the largest Orthodox Jewish community in the UK outside of London). The title represents the Jewish festival of Sukkot and its links to the protective “Clouds Of Glory” that surrounded the ancient Israelites upon their exile into the desert from Egypt for forty years; it also symbolises the walls of exclusion/inclusion that Orthodox Jewish communities surround themselves with today.
