Beskrivning
Kosher haggis, tartan kippot, and Jewish Burns’ Suppers: Jews acculturated to Scotland within one generation and quickly inflected Jewish culture in a Scottish idiom. This book analyses the religious aspects of this transition through a transnational perspective on migration in the first three decades of the twentieth century. As immigrants began to outnumber the established Jewish community, and Eastern European rabbis challenged the British Jewish leadership in London, Scottish Jewry underwent momentous changes. The book examines this tumultuous period through a thematic biography of Salis Daiches, Scotland’s most significant rabbi. Drawing on previously unseen archival material, including Rabbi Daiches’ personal correspondence, the book provides a window into the dynamics of Jewish religious life and power relations.

Recensioner i media

Hannah Holtschneider skilfully contextualises Rabbi Salis Daiches’s career in Edinburgh and his emergence as the rabbinic spokesman for Scottish Jewry in the first half of the twentieth century.　 She reveals him to be a canny opponent of Britain's chief rabbi, Joseph Hertz, and a relentless defender of the independence of Scotland's Jewish communities.
