6:30pm – SCoJeC – 200 years of Jewish Communities, a talk by Michael Tobias in Ayr

To mark the Bicentenary of Jewish Communities in Scotland, we will be holding seven talks across Scotland in towns with a history of hosting small Jewish communities. Michael Tobias, researcher, and genealogist, will be giving the third talk in our series in Ayr on Thursday 22 June, 6.30pm, at the MacLaurin Art Gallery, Ayr, KA7 4NQ, as part of Refugee Festival Scotland 2017.

Hear about the history of smaller Jewish communities, as well that of the larger communities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Participants will hear the “how”, why” and “where” of Jewish immigration to Scotland, followed by a discussion and a “sharing our stories” session. The event, which will also include a kosher buffet, is free and is open to all to attend.
